Question

1. which is an analogy?

○ gardening can save money because seeds cost less than a fully grown vegetable.
○ growing a garden is like putting money in the bank.
○ gardening is an affordable way to enjoy fresh vegetables year round.
○ growing vegetables in a garden is less expensive than buying them from a store.

Explanation:

An analogy draws a comparison between two unrelated things to explain a concept. Only this option uses "like" to explicitly compare gardening (growing plants over time for return) to putting money in a bank (investing for future return), which fits the definition of an analogy. The other options state factual claims or cost comparisons without drawing a parallel between distinct concepts.

Answer:

C. Growing a garden is like putting money in the bank.
