Question

Which sentence contains a metaphor?

A. If we all knew more about badgers, we'd appreciate their role in nature.
B. The badger shook and snarled as if he were a grumpy old man.
C. Not every badger is a vicious, snarling menace, just the angry ones.
D. The badger's babies are little puffy balls of fluff with a few teeth thrown in.

Answer 1

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

B. is the metaphor because the badger is being likened to an old man. Also, because the sentence does not contain the words like or and, it is not a simile. If you want to make sure a comparison is or is not a simile, check to see if it has like or and. If not, and it is still a comparison, it is a metaphor. Stay cool.<3
