Answer 1

Metaphors compare two dissimilar things. They make a direct comparison between two unlike things without using the words 'like' or 'as'.

Step-by-step explanation:

Metaphors compare two dissimilar things. They make a direct comparison between two unlike things without using the words 'like' or 'as'.

For example, in the line 'Hope is the thing with feathers', Emily Dickinson is comparing hope to a bird by saying they are the same. This is a metaphor because it directly compares two dissimilar things.

So, the statement 'Metaphors compare two dissimilar things' is true regarding metaphors.

The other statements are false. Metaphors do not generally use either 'like' or 'as' to make a comparison; they often use different forms of 'to be' to make a comparison.
