The First Half of the Twentieth Century — Test

Question 4 • English Language Arts 12

Which of these are metaphors? Choose two correct answers.

Answer
A
Her coat was as black as coal.
B
Life is a roller coaster.
C
The child is as quiet as a mouse.
D
She is the sun of my sky.
E
They fought like cats and dogs.

Explanation

A metaphor describes one thing as another to suggest a resemblance without using “like” or “as.” “She is the sun of my sky” and “Life is a roller coaster” directly compare people or experiences to other things, so A and E are metaphors. The other choices use “like” or “as,” making them similes.
