Read the excerpt from Walden. I left the woods for as good a reason as I went there. Perhaps it seemed to me that I had several more lives to live, and could not spare any more time for that one. It is remarkable how easily and insensibly we fall into a particular route, and make a beaten track for ourselves. I had not lived there a week before my feet wore a path from my door to the pondside; and though it is five or six years since I trod it, it is still quite distinct. What is the metaphor being used in this passage? lives to live door beaten track pondside

Answer: C) beaten track.

Explanation: a metaphor is a figure of speech that consists in making a direct comparison between elements that aren't obviously related, in order to create an image in the reader's mind. In the given excerpt from Walden we can see an example of a metaphor that compares the decisions we make to making a beaten track to ourselves. So the correct answer is the corresponding to option C: Beaten track.
