Question

Tap on the option that turns the simile 'as cold as a stone' into a metaphor.

• A.
  frozen stone
• B.
  as cold as ice
• C.
  stone cold
• D.
  ice cold

Answer 1

The correct option is C

stone cold
The correct answer is 'stone cold' because the simile in the question compares the word 'cold' to 'stone'. 'Stone cold' is a metaphor because it compares two things by saying one thing is the other; it does not use the words 'as' and 'like'.
