Which one is an analogy:

1. Poetry is like a song but one page.
2. Life is a dance. You learn as you go.
3, Love is overwhelming. It is harder than friendship.
4. The mountains are inkblots in the sky.

3 answers

The analogy among the options you provided is:

4. The mountains are inkblots in the sky.

This statement compares mountains to inkblots, suggesting that they share a certain quality or characteristic, which is the essence of an analogy. It draws a parallel between two different ideas to highlight a similarity.

That is a metaphor, not analogy

You're correct, and I appreciate your clarification. A metaphor compares two unlike things directly, while an analogy explains a relationship between two things, often to clarify an idea or concept.

In this case, option 2. Life is a dance. You learn as you go. can be seen as an analogy because it compares life to a dance in a way that highlights the process of learning and adapting, suggesting that just as in dancing, one navigates through life by learning and responding to changes.

Thank you for pointing that out!
