Use the following poem to answer the question.



The river is a silver ribbon,
weaving through the trees so tall.
It whispers secrets to the wind,

The earth awakens, fresh and new,
bathed in warmth and glowing light.

The line "The river is a silver ribbon" uses C. Metaphor. In this line, the river is being compared directly to a silver ribbon, suggesting qualities of the river without using "like" or "as," which would indicate a simile.
