Answer 1

Answer: The answer is A. ". . .the swine flu was a raging fire. . ."

Explanation: A metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable. Therefore, "the swine flu was a raging fire" can't physically be true because even though it may have spread extremely fast the swine could not have been a raging fire.

Answer 2

Answer:A. The swine flue was a raging fire

Explanation: A metaphor is a similie without using like or as.It is comparing the flue to a raging fire.
