Question

What figure of speech is this quote?

“Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.”
A)Personification
B)Metaphor
C)Simile
D)Repetition

Answer 1

Metaphor

Step-by-step explanation:

A metaphor is quote : "a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable." In this case, we talk about being on a right track not literally, but its just a way to say that "you're close to the answer". Getting run over is just like that too. You are not going to get literally run over, its just a statement that implies that you won't get any farther. Hope this helps. Please ignore the literally at the end, I didn't find a way to remove it :).

Answer 2

B) Metaphor

Personification is something being described human like
Simile uses like it as
Repetition is repeating

The quote is not being described as human like, it does not have like or as, and it is not repeating. Therefore the answer is Metaphor.
