Question

Which line from the excerpt contains a metaphor?

1: "I ask them to take a poem"
2: "and hold it up to the light"
3: "like a color slide"
4: "or press an ear against its hive"

Answer 1

Imma say 3 or 4
I lean more towards 3 because

“Metaphor”a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable.

I could be wrong but I say 3
I hope this helps you and please comment if I was right.
Have a nice day
