METAPHOR

You are correct! "Her coffee-and-cream neck" is an example of a metaphor. When you encounter a phrase like this, there are a few steps you can follow to identify the type of figurative language being used.

1. Understand literal vs. figurative meaning:
First, identify whether the description is meant to be interpreted literally or figuratively. In this case, it is clear that the phrase is not meant to be taken literally, as a neck cannot actually be made of coffee and cream.

2. Identify the comparison:
Next, determine what is being compared in the phrase. In this example, the woman's neck is being compared to the color and appearance of coffee and cream.

3. Figure out the type of figurative language:
Now that we have identified the comparison, we can determine the type of figurative language being used. A metaphor is a figure of speech that directly compares two different things without using the words "like" or "as." When the woman's neck is compared directly to coffee and cream, without using any comparison words, it becomes a metaphor.

So, after going through these steps, we can conclude that "her coffee-and-cream neck" is an example of a metaphor (choice D). Good job!
