Answer:
Option 3. An extended metaphor is a comparison over the course of a poem.
Explanation:
In simpler terms, an extended metaphor is the comparison of two unrelated or unlike things throughout the whole literary piece (poem or prose). It is also named as sustained metaphor.
Example:
- In Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare, the speaker uses extended metaphor that compares his love to summer.
- In O Captain! My Captain! by Whitman, there will be an extended metaphor of Abraham Lincoln as the captain of the 'ship' that is the USA.
