Which among the following is not a metaphor?
- “ The roar of thunder awakened the sleeping dog”
- “Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.”
- “I am the good shepherd, and I lay down my life for the sheep.”
Hint:
Metaphor is the one which compares the given sentence without using words like 'like', 'as', etc.
The correct answer is: “ The roar of thunder awakened the sleeping dog”
The sentence "The roar of thunder awakened the sleeping dog" is the personification. It personifies the thunder by giving human attributes. A thunder will never roar but here, it is given as roar. So, it is a personification and not a metaphor.
