Question 463 • Career Explorations - EL3401

Which sentence contains a metaphor?

Answer
A
The track star ran the race as fast as a cheetah.
B
The basketball player was a giant next to the small boy.
C
The girl had a million things to study before the chemistry test.
D
The students sat by the windowsill and watched the snow slowly fall.

Explanation

A metaphor describes one thing as another to make a comparison without using “like” or “as.” Calling the basketball player “a giant” compares the player’s size with the small boy’s, so B contains a metaphor. Choice A uses “as,” making it a simile, while C is an exaggeration.
