A metaphor is a figure of speech that makes a direct comparison between two unlike things by stating that one thing is another, thereby highlighting the similarities between them without using "like" or "as."

For example, if the options were:
1. "Her smile is a ray of sunshine."
2. "She runs like the wind."
3. "The classroom was a zoo."
4. "He is as brave as a lion."

In this case, sentence 1 ("Her smile is a ray of sunshine") and sentence 3 ("The classroom was a zoo") are both metaphors. They compare the subjects to something else to emphasize a quality (brightness and chaos, respectively).

Thus, the correct example of a metaphor would be either option 1 or option 3, depending on which sentences were provided. If only one is a metaphor, then select that one.
