Answer 2

Answer: The answer is A. ". . .the swine flu was a raging fire. . ."

Explanation: A metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable. Therefore, "the swine flu was a raging fire" can't physically be true because even though it may have spread extremely fast the swine could not have been a raging fire.
