Question

Which of the following is an example of a metaphor?

A. Your eyes are like glittering diamonds.
B. Your fingers dance across the keyboard.
C. Your heart is ice.
D. Your lips are as pink as roses.

Answer 1

C. Your heart is ice.

A is a simile as it uses the word like in the comparison.
B is personification as it gives your fingers the human ability to dance.
D is also a simile as it uses the word as in the comparison.

Answer 2

The correct answer to your question is C.

"Your heart is ice" is an example of a metaphor. It's an example of a metaphor because it is referring to something being something, but it is not actually literal, for instance, lips cannot actually be ice.

Option A is a simile since it contains the word "like," option B is using personification because it is saying the fingers dance though that is something humans can do, and option D would be incorrect because it is also using a simile (it contains the word "like.")

I hope this helps! :)
