Answer:
B. Landon was the shining star of the football team.
Explanation:
The metaphor is a figure of speech used to compare two unrelated things that are similar in some aspect.
The sentence that correctly uses the metaphor is sentence B. When we say that someone is a shining star, we mean that they are outstanding, very or most important, skillful, or successful. If someone says that Landon is the shining star of the football team, they want to say that Landon is its best, most important player.
Sentences A and D are incorrect because <em>shining star</em> has a meaning that can't be used in the given sentences. Sentence C is incorrect because <em>shining star </em>has a literal meaning there, which means that it isn't used as a metaphor.
