Metaphor
Yes, the correct answer is B. metaphor.
To understand why this statement is a metaphor, let's break it down:
A metaphor is a figure of speech that compares two different things without using "like" or "as." In this case, the statement compares the novel to a passport, implying that the novel can transport the reader into an adventure, just as a passport allows someone to travel to different places.
To identify the figure of speech used in a sentence like this, you can look for words or phrases that suggest a comparison or connection between two unrelated things. In this particular sentence, the word "was" indicates that the novel is being equated to a passport, making it a metaphor.
