C. suggested rather than stated directly
To arrive at this answer, you need to understand what an implied metaphor is. An implied metaphor is a type of metaphor where the comparison between two things is not explicitly stated, but rather suggested indirectly. It allows for a more subtle and nuanced comparison.
Option A, "made through the use of verbs such as is," is incorrect because the presence of "is" does not necessarily indicate an implied metaphor. "Is" can be found in both implied and explicit metaphors.
Option B, "not very flexible or suggestive," is incorrect because implied metaphors are actually known for being flexible and suggestive. Unlike explicit metaphors, which are straightforward and direct, implied metaphors rely on context and subtlety, allowing for various interpretations.
Option D, "made by the insertion of colorful adjectives," is incorrect because while adjectives can be used in both explicit and implied metaphors, their use alone does not define an implied metaphor.
Therefore, the correct answer is C: suggested rather than stated directly.
