Question

Explain the metaphor beyond the symbol by choosing the phrase that establishes what is similar in the pair of words. Select the item that best expresses this. Use your notes if you need them. Boy: old man.

Answer 1

I’m not sure if this is what the question is asking. But below is a metaphor comparing a boy to an old man:

The boy was an old man as he walked, slowly and shakily, almost as if he was in dire need of a cane.

this includes a metaphor and then a simile too, which I included on accident tbh

hope this helps :)
