Question 94961 • (OC27) Intensive Reading 3-1000416-S1-VRobinson-VOL7006P=TG97%

Which sentence from the passage uses a metaphor?

Answer
A
“Dr. McLaney and Dr. McLaney had a laboratory in the house that was a treasure chest of wonders.”
B
“They worked in this laboratory all day, every day, making more miraculous inventions.”
C
“They made a lot of things that people urgently needed.”
D
“These they sold or donated to hospitals.”

Explanation

A metaphor describes one thing as if it were another, without using “like” or “as.” In choice A, the laboratory is called “a treasure chest of wonders,” meaning it was full of remarkable inventions, not that it was literally a chest. The other sentences describe the doctors’ work directly.
