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.

Thanks for the points. ;D

Anyway, this is more personal experiences, but I'd say I'd pay a good bit for a haircut. I could cut my hair myself, but that would look pretty horrendous. I'd also pay high prices for good, high-quality chocolate because that stuff is the BOMB and I can't make it, and same thing for an Italian style pizza. I'd also pay high prices for doctors because they help keep you healthy and can alert you if you have a serious illness. I'd also pay high prices for internet and power because in today's society those are some of the most necessary things in the US of A.

Anyway, I'm just spouting. What about you?
