Read the sentence. cora and mellie held hands so tightly, their fingers were a chain-link fence. which statement best interprets the meaning of this metaphor? cora and mellie’s hands are bound together by a chain. cora and mellie’s hands are grasped strongly together. cora and mellie’s hands look like a metal fence. cora and mellie’s hands are made of metal.

Cora and Mellie’s hands are grasped strongly together.

Explanation:

What the author is attempting to tell the reader is that Cora and Mellie have some sort of special bond with the other -- their hands "tightly" clasped symbolizing that. Their hands are not a literal chain-link fence, however, their bond is as strong as that thus leading me to believe that Choice B is the correct option.

The best answer is choice B. Metaphors should not be taken literally. In this example, the word chain most nearly means "strongly held together."
