Question

Which one of the following sentences is an example of a metaphor? A. The breeze blew the branches back and forth. B. I am a rock. C. I'm as hungry as a wolf. D. She eats like a bird.

Answer 1

B is the metaphor, which contains the direct statement of "being" an inanimate object. C and D are similes, with the key words "as" and "like" indicating similarity. A is more of personification, where the breeze acts like a person in making the branches move.
