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. "Mountain of despair" compares the feeling of despair to a mountain, suggesting its large and overwhelming nature. The other options are not metaphors. "This is our hope" is a simple statement, "pray together" and "sing with new meaning" are actions.

Answer:

mountain of despair
