Read this excerpt from the poem "Lincoln Looked."

It was time for a change. Lincoln

looked deep within himself and searched

for the recipe for a new country made

from so many wild and unique ingredients.

Which metaphor is used in the poem?

Lincoln is compared to a recipe that has many ingredients.

Lincoln is compared to a country that is wild and unique.

The country is compared to a president who looks deep within.

The country is compared to a recipe that has many ingredients.

Answer:

The correct answer is The country is compared to a recipe that has many ingredients.

Explanation:

A metaphor is a type of rhetorical figure or expression in which the meaning of one concept is related to that of another, establishing a relationship where it is implied that there is a similarity between the two.

In this case we can see that Lincoln searched for the recipe for a new country from unique ingredients, we all know that there is no recipe to create a country and no ingredients either. That is why this is called a metaphor, since he used the meaning of the recipe concept, to establish "the guidelines" in which he can find "unique ways" to shape a new country.
