Question

Hearing the creaking steps on the front porch late at night, Sheila's heart turned to ice. (A. hyperbole (B. metaphor (C. Simile

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

A hyperbole is an exaggeration (which this is not), A Simile is a comparison using like or as (i.e. her heart turned as cold as ice).

Because neither of these are correct, the metaphor is the correct answer (a comparison NOT using like or as).
