Question

Which of these lines contains a metaphor?
A) You light up my life.
B) She was fishing for compliments.
C) He broke my heart.
D) All of the above

Answer 1

D) All of the above....

Answer 2

Line C) contains metaphor. The other two are normal usages.

Explanation

Metaphor: Metaphor is a word or phrase used to describe a person or something else in a way that is different from its normal use, in order to show that the two things have the same qualities and to make the description more powerful, for example ‘She has a heart of stone.’

Heart is something that can never be broken literally. So it is a metaphorical usage.
