Answer:

D) The puck is moving very quickly.

Explanation:

A metaphor is a figure of speech in which an author refers to one thing by mentioning another one. This is meant to reveal some similarities between the two objects and in this way clarify an idea. It is also a way to increase the rhetorical effect of a phrase. In this example, the metaphor being used is that of comparing the puck with a missile. The idea that the author wants to convey through this comparison is that the puck is moving very quickly.

The correct answer is D) the puck is moving very quickly.

<em>The statement that best interprets the meaning of the metaphor in the sentence is "the puck is moving very quickly."</em>

Metaphor is a figure of speech. It allows people to describe or compare actions, moments, or individuals in a way that is not true, literary speaking. The metaphor compares two things for the sake of the symbolism that represents.

So in this case, when the sentence reads "...transforming it into a missile heading straight to the goal," the author is comparing the speed of the puck with a missile, trying to express that the puck is moving very quickly, as "the speed of a missile."
