Read the short speech. Operating a motor vehicle requires a driver’s undivided attention. Navigating the roads, attending to road signs, and anticipating the behavior of others demands focus. Young drivers must ignore distractions that hinder their concentration, such as texting. Texting while driving is a blindfold that obstructs views and destroys caution. In the worst situations, it leads to destruction and can be fatal. Identify the metaphor in the speech.
Answer
A
“texting while driving is a blindfold”
B
“a driver’s undivided attention”
C
“anticipating the behavior of others”
D
“young drivers must ignore distractions”
Explanation
A metaphor directly compares two unlike things without using “like” or “as.” The speech says texting while driving “is a blindfold,” comparing the distraction to something that blocks a driver’s view. The other choices describe attention, a driving task, or advice rather than making a comparison.
