DISCUSSION: Metaphors are mentioned in the second paragraph. You should look there to confirm.
A metaphor uses one thing to describe something else. So if I say that the cattle stampede passed by lightly as a mist, then ‘mist’ is the metaphor, not stampede.
(Technically what I wrote is a simile, not a metaphor, since I used ‘as’. I don’t care)
___________
- The last few sentences of paragraph 2 mention cattle drives, but as a fact, not as a metaphorical comparison.
- CORRECT. The middle part of paragraph 2 mentions mist as a metaphor for a small fight.
- The middle part of paragraph 3 mentions a cypress tree, but it’s an actual tree, not a metaphorical tree.
- The middle part of paragraph 2 mentions a fight, but that’s the fact. Mist is used as a metaphor to describe the fight.
- The last few sentences of paragraph 2 mention stampedes. They are a fact, not a metaphor.
