Question

Read the short speech.

Operating a motor vehicle requires a driver’s undivided attention. Navigating the roads, attending to road signs, and anticipating the behavior of others demands focus. Young drivers must ignore distractions that hinder their concentration, such as texting. Texting while driving is a blindfold that obstructs views and destroys caution. In the worst situations, it leads to destruction and can be fatal.

Identify the metaphor in the speech.

“a driver’s undivided attention”
“anticipating the behavior of others”
“young drivers must ignore distractions”
“texting while driving is a blindfold”

Answer 1

“texting while driving is a blindfold”

It's a metaphor because it directly compares texting while driving to a blindfold (saying one thing is another) to illustrate how it blocks vision and awareness.
