Question

Explanation:

To determine the figure of speech, we analyze the options:

• Verbal irony involves saying the opposite of what is meant, which is not the case here.
• A metaphor makes a direct comparison by stating one thing is another. In the sentence, "life" is directly compared to "a journey" (and contrasted with "a destination") without using "like" or "as", so it is a metaphor.
