Question

what does the metaphor in this text suggest?
he reads incessantly; new ideas are food for his mind.
he is stimulated by new ideas.
he often reads about food and cooking.
he is never satisfied with what he reads.

Explanation:

The metaphor "new ideas are food for his mind" compares new ideas to food, which nourishes or stimulates the mind. The first option matches this as being stimulated by new ideas aligns with food nourishing the mind. The second option is incorrect as the metaphor isn't about reading food - related content. The third option isn't suggested by the metaphor about ideas as food.

Answer:

A. He is stimulated by new ideas.
