Question

the night sky was a blank canvas waiting to be painted by the stars. which type of figurative language is being used in the example? a. simile b. hyperbole c. metaphor d. allusion

Explanation:

This statement directly compares the night sky to a blank canvas without using comparison words like "like" or "as", which is the defining feature of a metaphor. A simile uses "like" or "as", hyperbole is extreme exaggeration, and allusion refers to another work or concept, none of which apply here.

Answer:

C. Metaphor
