Ace Foley · Answer 1

The correct option is option (D).

Explanation:

Metaphor: A Metaphor is an implied simile. It does not, like the simile, state that one thing is like another or acts as another, but takes that for granted and proceeds as if the two things were one.

For eg: Life is a dream.

Your answer would be: that cars purr was a soft lullaby.

Explanation: the cat doesn't actually sing a lullaby but it's soothing so it's a metaphorical lullaby.
