Question

America is a melting pot of cultures. This statement compares America to a pot of soup. What type of figurative language is used in this statement?

Group of answer choices

simile

metaphor

alliteration

hyperbole

Answer 1

Metaphor

Step-by-step explanation:

It is not alliteration because that would be a sentence most words start with the same letter (ex. Sally sells seashells by the seashore). It is not a simile because similes use 'like' and 'as' to compare two things. By process of elimination, it has to be a metaphor.
