Question

Similes and metaphors establish comparisons between two dissimilar things. Which of the following is a metaphor? (Choose all that apply)
a. Bent double, like old beggars under sacks

b. The fog comes/on little cat feet

c. My boss Bob was waiting for me when I showed up for work five minutes late today—the snake!

Answer 1

Answer:

b is the metaphor

Explanation:

the reasoning is because is simile makes a comparison to two things using the works like or as while a metaphor doesn't. an example of this is "she runs fast, LIKE a cheetah," that's a simile while "she's a cheetah running in the wind" is a metaphor, implying that she indeed is the cheetah not just fast like one when in reality she really isn't a cheetah at all. sorry if this is a little confusing.
