Question

Which of the following is a metaphor?

Answer 1

The answer is “I cried a river last night.” If a sentence uses “like” or “as” to compare two things, it is a simile. A sentence that doesn’t use those words, but instead states something as though it is a literal fact is a metaphor. “The cat was as black as the night,” is a simile. “The cat was the night,” is a metaphor.
