The correct sentence that uses metaphor to indicate how important Douglass thinks the problem of slavery is: “it is not light that is needed, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder.”
Explanation: In this metaphor, Douglass contrasts “light” and “gentle shower” with “fire” and “thunder.” This suggests that the issue of slavery requires intense, passionate action and urgency (represented by fire and thunder) rather than mild or superficial efforts (represented by light and gentle showers). This metaphor highlights the gravity and critical nature of the struggle against slavery.
