"as a new jar i am empty and open" is an example of a: (10 points) select one: a. metaphor b. hyperbole c. simile d. paradox

I think it is a metaphor. Metaphor's are like similes but don use "like" or "as".

For example: I am a pig at dinner.

That is a metaphor because I'm saying that I'm a pig at dinner, but I don't literally mean it.

For a simile:

I am like a pig at dinner.

I say like because I'm comparing myself with a pig. And I used like. So it makes it a simile.

I hope that helps! :)

So the answer is metaphor.

the correct answer can either be a or b because it could be both but you should probally choose b
