Question

what does the metaphor in this text suggest? conscience is a mans compass. - vincent van gogh your conscience can lead you around in circles. your conscience guides you to act the right way. submit

Explanation:

A metaphor compares two unlike things without using "like" or "as". Here, "conscience" is compared to a "compass". A compass is an instrument that shows direction. So, the metaphor implies that conscience functions in a similar way - it shows the right direction (or way to act). The first option "Your conscience can lead you around in circles" is incorrect as a compass (when used properly) doesn't lead one in circles; it leads one in a proper direction. The second option aligns with the guiding - direction function of a compass.

Answer:

Your conscience guides you to act the right way.
