Which statement is an example of a metaphor? A. The baby was as cute as a button. B. Her room was a pigsty. C. She has a messy room. D. He was as pale as a ghost.

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. Her room was a pigsty.A metaphor is a figure of speech that compares two unlike things without using "like" or "as." In this case, the room is being compared to a pigsty, implying that it is very messy and disorganized. The other options are examples of similes, which use "like" or "as" to make a comparison.
