The line that is an example of metaphor is:
**1** (We cannot simply be painted with the broad brush of assumption that the most successful of us represent the totality of us.)
This line uses the metaphor of being "painted with the broad brush" to imply that assumptions about a group based on the few most successful individuals are overly simplistic and inaccurate.
