Question

The following is a metaphor. True or False

Her mouth was like a fountain, always running
True
False

Answer 1

False. "Her mouth was like a fountain, always running" which is a simile instead. There isn't a "like" in a metaphor, but in most similes there is a word "like" in them. To identify if it is a simile or metaphor, see if there is a word "like" if there isn't it's a metaphor, if there is it might be a simile.
