To determine which line in the poem contains a metaphor, let's first recall what a metaphor is. A metaphor is a figure of speech that makes a comparison between two unlike things, implying a resemblance or a symbolic representation.

Now, let's analyze the options and identify if any of them contain a metaphor:

Line 25: "past towns that mark its passing and then" - This line describes the river passing by towns but does not contain a metaphor. It is stating a literal action.

Line 18: "It claws and crashes as its fury is subdued" - This line uses the verbs "claws" and "crashes" to describe the river, implying an intense and forceful flow. However, this is not a metaphor; rather, it is using personification, attributing human characteristics to the river.

Line 16: "A wildcat roaring past steep banks" - This line contains a metaphor. It compares the river to a wildcat, emphasizing its wild and powerful nature.

Line 6: "Quiet enough for my every thought" - This line does not contain a metaphor. It is describing the quietness of the surroundings, without using any figurative language.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. Line 16 contains a metaphor, comparing the river to a wildcat roaring past steep banks.
