Read this excerpt from "The Unseen Values." We can no longer take the risk of giving much support to the scoffers—to that breed of unimaginative souls who
thought Robert Fulton was a fool for harnessing a paddlewheel to a boiler, who thought Henry Ford was a fool for
putting an internal combustion engine on wheels, who thought Samuel Langley was a fool for designing a
contraption to fly through the air.
The reference to Henry Ford in the excerpt above is an example of which figurative language technique?

Explanation:

b. brooks wrote about the same type of neighborhood in which she grew up.

in ray bradbury's short story "a sound of thunder", mr. eckels's fearfulness leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.

in the story, mr. eckels, who is a hunter, hires a time travel company to travel to the age of dinosaurs. although he is excited for the hunting expedition at the beginning, when they reach there and mr. eckels sees the tyrannosaurus, he feels frightened. as he is afraid of the tyrannosaurus, he steps off the path although he has been warned not to do it. by stepping off the path, the entire course of the future is affected: mr. eckart alters the future by stepping on a butterfly, which causes a new man to be elected president in the future. in that way, it is mr. eckart's fearfulness what triggers 'the butterfly effect' and what leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.
