Which of the following lines is an example of a metaphor? A. “The weeping of the guitar / begins” B. “I am offering this poem to you” C. “He didn’t fight / he hadn’t fought at all” D. “My stomach was a melon split wide inside my skin”

Respuesta :

D. "My stomach was a melon split wide inside my skin"

Answer:

D. “My stomach was a melon split wide inside my skin”

Explanation:

A metaphor is a figure of speech that asserts that one element (person, animal, thing, quality, event, etc.) is similar to another element. It is similar to a simile except that metaphors do not use words such as "like" or "as" to make the comparison. The line from option D is an example of this figure of speech because it compares “My stomach” to “a melon split wide inside my skin,” without using the words “like” or “as.”
