Metaphor means a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object without use like or as

A metaphor is a piece of figurative language that compares two unlike things without using the terms "like" or "as". Off the bat, you can eliminate B and C, because they include these words. Option A is a piece of prose, it makes no comparisons.

The answer is D, because it compares the subject, "I" (most likely a person), to a rock (which is not a person).

I want to see people’s opinion on this.
Tasya [4]

Answer: I would actually disagree on this

Explanation: In America there was a time period where conscientious objectors were ordered by the government to vote. However, their denial to vote brought them severe prison time, torture and opposition. If 16 year olds could vote then people with religious beliefs or who are conscientious objectors would be bullied by political peers and such pressure could obligate them to go against their conscious and norms. From ages 16 to 18 a person is too young to commit the right decisions without a person actually influencing them. A person is capable of thinking for themselves without outward influences when they are about 21 and up. Also, voting is not necessary, it’s simple tradition. It’s a superficial thing, people think they choose the president but in reality it’s the Supreme Court who makes that decision for you. You could fact check that if you attend a civics class or if you directly ask a representative from congress.
