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.

What is intercropping vegetable farming?
DIA [1.3K]
<span>Intercropping is a multiple cropping practice involving growing two or more crops in proximity. The most common goal of intercropping is to produce a greater yield on a given piece of land by making use of resources that would otherwise not be utilized by a single crop. Careful planning is required, taking into account the soil, climate, crops, and varieties. It is particularly important not to have crops competing with each other for physical space, nutrients, water, or sunlight. Examples of intercropping strategies are planting a deep-rooted crop with a shallow-rooted crop, or planting a tall crop with a shorter crop that requires partial shade. Inga alley cropping has been proposed as an alternative to the ecological destruction of slash-and-burn farming.</span>
