What is a metaphor?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. A figure of speech that identifies one thing with another without a comparing word
- Step 1: In a metaphor one term replaces or is identified with another, as in "life is a journey". Step 2. A comparison would use a marker such as "like" or "as". Answer: a metaphor identifies one thing with another without a comparing word. Why not the others: the other options describe a simile, personification and alliteration.
