Question

which sentence contains a metaphor?
marias couch weighs 10 tons, so she needs to recruit the help of several friends to move it to her new apartment
jolenes 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:

A metaphor directly compares two unrelated things without using "like" or "as".

1. The first sentence uses hyperbole (exaggeration of the couch's weight) not a metaphor.
2. The second sentence uses "like", which makes it a simile, not a metaphor.
3. The third sentence directly equates winds to "majestic trumpet blasts" without comparative words, so it is a metaphor.
4. The fourth sentence is a literal statement with no figurative language.

Answer:

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