Metaphor Examples Given

Which of the following is NOT an example of Metaphor? * a.There is a black sheep in your family; and there is a weight on your shoulder. b.I like her enthusiasm; there is a garden in her face. c.She is sweet as sugar and bright as the sun. d.I’m pleased to meet her better half. She has been living in a bubble.

d.I’m pleased to meet her better half. She has been living in a bubble.

Explain

d. "She has been living in a bubble" is not an example of metaphor because it is not a comparison of two unlike things. A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes a subject by asserting that it is, on some point of comparison, the same as another otherwise unrelated object. In this example "living in a bubble" is an idiomatic expression and not a comparison of two unlike things. a, b and c are examples of metaphor as they are comparisons of two unlike things.
