Answer 1

Answer:

B. Metaphor

• Metaphor directly compares two things by stating that one is the other, without using "like" or "as."

  • Example: "Helen's heart is a rose" (Her heart is compared to a rose, suggesting qualities like beauty, warmth, or kindness.)

• Simile compares two things using "like" or "as."

  • Example: "Helen's heart is like a rose."
