From the word itself "metaphor", this means that there is a comparison between two very unlike things. But when it is extended, this means that it continues all throughout the paragraph or sentences. In the case of the phrase above, the extended metaphor that is being described in the poem is this: eating in the kitchen is compared to racial segregation in America. The answer is the first statement.
