Sotomayor used a metaphor about getting involved in order to introduce her discussion on the joy of engagement.

A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in a way that isn’t literally true, but helps explain an idea or create a comparison. A metaphor states that one thing is another thing.

The purpose of a metaphor is to create a comparison or symbolism.

People were terrified of her dog because his fluffy coat made him look enormous, but he was really just enthusiastic rather than (A) aggressive.

Unless you are anthropomorphizing, just one of these adjectives—aggressive—would you likely choose to describe a dog (attirbuting human characteristics to animals or objects).
If I used the word assertive in relation to a dog, it would probably be used as a close synonym for enthusiastic (note that I have never heard it done and cannot see doing it myself).
An aggressive dog is undoubtedly one that is prepared to fight.

Aggressive.

When a person is focused, resolute, and unafraid to express their wants, they are said to be assertive.
When you are unwilling to smile at someone, you are described as sullen. It is simply impossible in this situation.
