1. Review the definition and examples of metaphors. Then see if that doesn't make this question clearer.

1. No. That choice has a simile. MC, please study the difference between a simile and a metaphor.

In fact, you need to do a lot more studying to answer these questions correctly.

I know it's lonely being home schooled -- but I guess you have to make the best of it.
