Which is the metaphor?

Question

a. unloved people are like caged birds
b.a guilty conscience never wakes
c. people walk in the woods
d. people should count their blessings

Answer 1

I would go with A even though it is a similie. Metaphor and similie are very close. Nothing else makes any sense to me

Answer 2

This is a poor question. A is a simile. It uses the word like so it is not a metaphor. C is just a statement. D is a wise statement or proverb. I guess it is B. If your teacher says it is A she is definitely wrong. Have her contrast the definition of simile to metaphor.

Answer 3

b
