Question

Which sentence most clearly makes use of metaphor, rather than

personification or simile?
A. Ducks flew in formation above us like fighter planes patrolling the
skies.
B. Hurricanes assault the coast every few years, punishing us
homeowners.
C. The rumble of the ocean kept us calm day and night until Tuesday
came

Answer 1

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

D

Step-by-step explanation:

We can immediately rule out A and B.

A used the word "like" meaning it is a simile

B uses the idea that hurricanes have human-like traits and can "punish". This is known as personification

Out of C and D, we can also tell that D uses metaphors.

"You must become a stone," which is a comparison without the word, "like"

Therefore, D
