Question

which sentence gives an example of an analogy? (1 point)

the new engineer in the fossil fuels division is definitely a diamond in the rough.

the scent is like a time machine, returning me to the café near where i waited for the bus every morning.

the grass in the front yard made walking to the mailbox like trudging through the amazon rain forest.

to webster, the sound of sarah’s violin playing was like a gentle mountain stream.

Explanation:

An analogy compares two things to explain or clarify, often highlighting a relationship or similarity. Let's analyze each option:

• "Diamond in the rough" is a metaphor (implied comparison) for a person with potential, not a clear analogy of relationships.
• "Scent like a time machine" is a simile (direct comparison) but focuses on evoking a memory, not a relational analogy.
• "Walking to mailbox like trudging through Amazon rainforest" compares the difficulty of walking on grass to trudging in a rainforest, showing a relationship (difficulty in movement) between two different contexts—this is an analogy.
• "Violin sound like mountain stream" is a simile comparing sound to a stream's quality, more of a descriptive comparison than an analogy of relationships.

Answer:

The grass in the front yard made walking to the mailbox like trudging through the Amazon rain forest.
