A metaphor is a comparison without using "like" or "as"

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.

which literary term describes a recurring idea or image? A. Suspense B. Tension C. motif D. Catharsis
PolarNik [594]
I would say suspense or tension but I'm not entirely sure because a motif is just a design, a catharsis is like releasing emotion from a suppressed feeling, tension is dragging things out, and suspense leaves readers on the edge of their seat.

PLEASE HELP ASAP! ! ! ! ! !
lisabon 2012 [21]

I am not an expert in this field, but the most educated guess I can make is that the 1st one is the best option. A colon is primarily used to list out different objects that correspond with the previous statement. Although the 2nd option could make it seem like a valid choice, the way the clause before the colon is formatted makes it a bit awkward. the 3rd option should be a comma instead of a colon.
