Unlike a simile, a metaphor:
o
a. draws upon the reader's prior knowledge.
o
b. does not contain words of comparison, such as "like" or "as."
c. is subjective, not objective.
o
d. is an example of literal, rather than figurative, language.

B). does not contain words of comparison, such as "like" or "as."

Unlike a simile, a metaphor does not contain words of comparison, such as "like" or "as."

The reason why answer choice "B). does not contain words of comparison, such as "like" or "as'" would be the correct answer because this is the main difference between a metaphor and simile.

A simile uses the words "like or "as" to compare something to something else.

For example, "That person is fast as a leopard."

However, metaphors don't use the words "like" or "as" to make a comparison between one thing and another. Metaphors could be known as "phrases" that is used to describe something, which most of the time is not relevant.

For example, "That person is a leopard."

The person literally isn't a leopard, but they're using it as a metaphor to describe someone.

now, of course, the quality and the seasonability of these winter dreams varied, but the stuff of them remained.   they persuaded dexter several years later to pass up a business course at the state university—his father, prospering now, would have paid his way—for the precarious advantage of attending an older and more famous university in the east, where he was bothered by his scanty funds. but do not get the impression, because his winter dreams happened to be concerned at first with musings on the rich, that there was anything merely snobbish in the boy. he wanted not association with glittering things and glittering people—he wanted the glittering things themselves. often he reached out for the best without knowing why he wanted it—and sometimes he ran up against the mysterious denials and prohibitions in which life indulges.
