Question 14 • SS-English Language Arts 7

Which excerpt from "Foreign Lands" contains a metaphor?

Answer
A
The dusty roads go up and downWith people tramping in to town.
B
I saw the next-door garden lie,Adorned with flowers, before my eye
C
I held the trunk with both my handsAnd looked abroad on foreign lands.
D
I saw the dimpling river passAnd be the sky's blue looking-glass;

Explanation

In choice D, the river is described as “the sky’s blue looking-glass.” This is a metaphor because it directly compares the river’s reflective surface to a mirror without using “like” or “as.” The other choices mainly describe roads, a garden, or looking out over distant lands.
