The back yard was covered in late afternoon sunlight. The leaves danced in the trees, delighted that spring had finally arrived. The tulips were bright slashes of color like a child's crayon drawing. In the garden, the first green shoots were pushing out of the soil to greet the warmth of the sun. Sitting on the porch swing, I drank in the beauty of nature, a delicious treat. Which phrase from the paragraph is an example of a metaphor? A. The beauty of nature, a delicious treat B. In late afternoon sunlight C. Greet the warmth of the sun D. Delighted that spring had finally arrived

The answer would be A. The beauty of nature, a delicious treat.

Notice how the author compares the beauty of nature to a delicious treat but does not use like or as. The author uses a delicious treat directly to represent the beauty of nature.
