Answer:

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 make a comparison.

Example:

Love is a battlefield.

Her tears were a river flowing down her cheeks.

eads him to neglect his relationships with family and friends.

Explanation:

Hi. Although you have not introduced the book this question refers to, we can see from the context of the question and the answer options that you are referring to the book "Frankenstein."

"Frankenstein" was written by Mary Shelley and tells the story of how Victor Frankenstein, a scientist fascinated by the possibility of creating life, manages to create a living being and suffers several consequences for this creation. Victor had been interested in science since his adolescence, but that interest was so great that it left Victor completely obsessed with the possibilities that science offered. He began studying non-stop, cutting off contact with family and friends. His goal was to fully focus on the study of science and the possibility of creating a living being, specifically, a human being.
