To determine which of the answer choices contains a metaphor, we need to understand what a metaphor is. A metaphor is a figure of speech that compares two different things by stating that one thing IS another thing, even though it's not literally true.
Let's analyze the answer choices:
A) "His skin was sandpaper" - This is a metaphor. It compares the texture of his skin to sandpaper, suggesting that his skin feels rough.
B) "The sun sparkled like a diamond" - This is a simile, not a metaphor. Similes use "like" or "as" to compare two different things.
C) "She wanted to be like the birds and fly away" - This is a simile, not a metaphor. It uses "like" to compare the girl's desire to be like the birds.
D) "They felt free when they ran through the door" - This is not a metaphor. It describes a feeling of freedom without directly comparing anything.
So, the answer choice that contains a metaphor is A) "His skin was sandpaper."
