Identify which sentences contain metaphors.
• Life is a roller coaster.
• The explanation was as clear as mud.
•He is my rock.
Time is money.

Answer:

Life is a roller coaster, he is my rock, and time is money.

Explanation:

"The explanation was as clear as mud" is not a metaphor because it contains the word "as". Any additional and nonliteral phrase starting with the word like or as is called a simile, a different but very similar figure of speech.

I hope this does you well! Happy learning friend :)
