Question

Analogy is different from simile and metaphor because it is
a____________________ rather than a ____________________.

Answer 1

Answer:

Analogy, metaphor, and simile are used to make comparison. However, how each one makes that comparison is slightly unique. Analogies compare two things to make a point while metaphors and similes make a more direct comparison.

The strength of an analogy depends upon the number of similarities.

Similarity reduces to identical properties and relations.

Good analogies derive from underlying common causes or general laws.

A good analogical argument need not pre-suppose acquaintance with the underlying universal (generalization).
