Question

I was ignorant until my teacher’s words inspired me

How could this idea be expressed with a metaphor?

Her words were light that brightened my dim soul
My teacher was like a lighthouse for weary travelers
The lecture grabbed the students, startling them
Inspiration was felt by all, we left the lecture standing tall

Answer 1

Her words were light that brightened my dim soul.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to know that metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in a what that is not literally true.

In this case, the inspiration you got through your teacher's words is expressed on 'words were light' (here the amazing words she used) and also, 'brightened my dim soul' (here the inspiration that 'illuminates' you)

Answer 2

A metaphor is something that compares two things without using like or as.
A. Her words were light that brightened my dim soul is the correct answer.
B. is a simile, so it is incorrect.
C. isn't a metaphor nor a simile, so it is incorrect.
D. is just a sentence with internal rhyming, not a metaphor.
