Question

which sentence contains a metaphor?
maria’s couch weighs 10 tons, so she needs to recruit the help of several friends to move it to her new apartment.
jolene’s new bed is like a cloud; when she sleeps on it, she feels like she is transported to an entirely new plane of existence.
when ella went sailing, she found that the winds were majestic trumpet blasts, allowing her to speed away into the distance.
sahita went to the seashore yesterday, and she spent time searching for sheer and shiny seashells from the ocean.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

A metaphor directly states one thing is another without using comparison words like "like" or "as". The first sentence uses hyperbole (exaggeration of the couch's weight). The second uses a simile with "like". The third directly equates winds to trumpet blasts, a metaphor. The fourth is a literal statement.

Answer:

When Ella went sailing, she found that the winds were majestic trumpet blasts, allowing her to speed away into the distance.
