c. The water was refreshing as a cool breeze.
can a metaphor use like or as? I think d is correct
Yes, you are correct. I apologize for the confusion. The correct answer is d. "The dusting of snow is frosting on the trees." This is an example of a metaphor, as it directly compares the dusting of snow to frosting on trees without using the words "like" or "as." Thank you for pointing out the error.
