The answer is b. The decorator recommended that the wallpaper be changed immediately.
The crew finally views the bird’s death as the cause of a b. drought. First they were angry at the mariner because they thought that the bird brought the breeze, then they congratulated the mariner because they said it brought mist and fog. Finally when they reach a calm sea and there is water everywhere but there is none to drink they blame the mariner for this and hang the bird's corpse around the mariner's neck.
Hey there!
We know that a metaphor is a form of figurative language. Its purpose is to compare two things without using the words "like" or "as", because that would make it a simile.
That allows us to rule out A and D.
Since you asked for which best identifies as the best metaphor, I'm going to go with C. It provides a better and more clear comparison as opposed to B.
Hopefully this helps!
