Which of the following is a metaphor?

A. dark as the dirt
B. the sun is yellow
C. bright as the sun
D. none of the above
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!

Choices A and C use “as” to compare two things, so they are similes.

Choice B just says that the sun is “yellow,” so it does not compare two things.  

So, none of the answer choices is a metaphor.
