Question

question 3 of 10. which of these is the best example of metaphor? a. the ring glistened in the sun. b. the river was the color of silver. c. his hair was long and golden. d. her eyes were sapphires.

Explanation:

A metaphor is a figure - of - speech that makes an implicit, implied, or hidden comparison between two things that are unrelated but share some common characteristics. In option D, "Her eyes were sapphires" directly states that eyes are sapphires, comparing the eyes to sapphires without using "like" or "as" (which would make it a simile). Options A, B, and C are simple descriptive statements without metaphorical comparisons.

Answer:

D. Her eyes were sapphires.
