Answer:

D. She offered him a hundred-watt smile.

Explanation:

In literature, a metaphor refers to a figure of speech in which the person states an <u>IMPLICIT</u> relationship or comparison between two things that, technically and literally are not related but that share some characteristics. And it is because of these characteristics that the metaphor is created.

In these examples, both A and C state in a explicit way "you are like" or "like unto", therefore, the comparison they are making is explicit.

Option B is not really making a comparison between two different things.

Finally, option D says "She offered him a hundred-watt smile", this sentence is establishing a relation between a smile and a hundred-watt light. The comparison is made <u>in an implicit way and it is made because the smile of the girl is so bright that it shines a a hundred-watt light.</u> Therefore, this would be an example of a metaphor.

Critically discuss the elements of a successful business
irinina [24]

Success can be measured in three ways:

1.       Patience. You must be patient especially if you are still new to business. There will be a time when your sales are not good.

2.       Perseverance. But no matter how hard it is, you must find ways in order for your business to grow.

3.       Good customer service. When you achieved successfully in business, it will  be reflected back to your customers whether they have been treated well, their wants are answered and they are contented with your product.
