Question

Explain the following quote. Answer in complete sentences. An analogy is like instant coffee—it can wake you up, but it isn't the real thing." —Peter da Silva

Answer 1

Answer: it means an analogy is like a solution, but isn’t always the best solution or the most accurate.

Explanation: It means an analogy is a quick comparison but in the end it’s not the best solution. An analogy is like an instant coffee( best solution) , it can wake you up, but it isn’t the real thing( it’s not always so real in reality). What’s seems real on paper might not always be accurately real in reality. An analogy feels like an instant solution, it makes you feel you are “right” but it isn’t always the best solution or the most accurate.
