Answer:
Please give me the example of the answer choices you have to choose from. My explanation will provide examples, but as I have nothing to go off of, they will not be the exact answer you may want.
Explanation:
A metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable.
It's like a simile, as it relates to something in comparison, but it doesn't use direct relational words that a simile uses, such as "like" or "as". Instead, it directly relates the subject to an object without the middle-man word use.
Examples in sentences:
He was a dark, stone wall.
Her gaze was a stream of ice that ran down my spine, making me nervous.
The dog's tail is a helicopter propeller every time he sees me.
