Question

which is an example of a metaphor? (1 point)
the lazy cat is sleeping like a log.
the water was refreshing as a cool breeze.
the falling leaves move like gentle butterflies.
the dusting of snow is frosting on the trees.

Explanation:

A metaphor makes a direct comparison without "like" or "as". The first three options use "like" or "as" (similes). The last option ("The dusting of snow is frosting on the trees") directly compares snow to frosting, no "like"/"as".

Answer:

The dusting of snow is frosting on the trees.
