Question

read this excerpt from a poem. the teacher called her name the sound was an alarm it prickled every hair and jangled every nerve which line contains a metaphor? the teacher called her name the sound was an alarm it prickled every hair and jangled every nerve

Explanation:

A metaphor is a figure of speech that directly compares two unlike things without using "like" or "as". In the line "The sound was an alarm", the sound of the teacher calling her name is directly compared to an alarm (a thing that signals danger or a problem), showing it had a strong, jarring effect. The other lines use personification ("prickled every hair", "jangled every nerve") or are literal statements ("The teacher called her name").

Answer:

The sound was an alarm
