Question

what does the metaphor in this text suggest?
tracy felt a roller coaster of emotions when she heard the news.
tracy found the news scary.
tracy had varied feelings.
tracy felt delighted about the news.

Explanation:

A metaphor compares two unlike things without using "like" or "as". Here, "a roller coaster of emotions" implies a range of different emotions (like a roller - coaster has ups and downs). The first option "Tracy found the news scary" only focuses on one emotion (fear). The third option "Tracy felt delighted about the news" only focuses on one positive emotion. But a roller - coaster of emotions means multiple emotions.

Answer:

Tracy had varied feelings.
