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.

That's being said, Israel has guaranteed women right to vote ever since the country was established. This can be seen on a line that written under the Israel's Declaration of independence.

<em>“The State of Israel (…) will ensure </em><em>complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or sex.</em><em>"</em>
