Question 1 • English 2

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 students sat by the windowsill and watched the snow slowly fall.
D
The girl had a million things to study before the chemistry test.

Explanation

A metaphor describes one thing as another to make a comparison. Saying the basketball player “was a giant” compares the player’s size with a giant, without using “like” or “as.” Choice A is a simile, and choice D is an exaggeration (hyperbole).
