Question

Which of the following is an example of a metaphor? A. “Fair is my love” B. “when her fair golden hairs . . . waving” C. “when the rose in her cheeks appears” D. “when her breast, like a rich laden bark”

Answer 1

It's actually C. "when the rose in her cheeks appears". I just did it.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. “when the rose in her cheeks appears”.

Explanation: It is a metaphor because it is comparing the subject's blushing to a rose; it is comparing two completely different things, and unlike simile, it does not use the comparative words "like" or "as".
