A. an entire poem comparing a swimmer to a dolphin
This option represents an extended metaphor because it likely sustains the comparison throughout the entire poem, providing multiple layers or instances of comparison between the swimmer and the dolphin. Extended metaphors go beyond a single phrase or line, exploring the similarities in greater depth over a longer passage.
