Question

what does the metaphor in this text suggest? carmen felt a roller coaster of emotions when she heard the news. carmen felt delighted about the news. carmen had varied feelings.

Explanation:

The metaphor "a roller coaster of emotions" is analyzed. A roller coaster has ups (highs) and downs (lows), so this metaphor suggests that Carmen's emotions were not stable—they changed rapidly, with peaks (like excitement or joy) and valleys (like sadness or anxiety), just as a roller coaster has varying elevations. The other options either state a single feeling (delighted) or a general "varied feelings" without capturing the dynamic, fluctuating nature implied by the roller - coaster metaphor.

Answer:

Carmen felt a roller coaster of emotions when she heard the news.
