Which selection from the text is a metaphor?
Liam's white kitten lay curled up on the sofa like a snowball. The
kitten's white fur had earned her the name Frosty the Snowman, but her
feisty personality suggested that perhaps "Stormy" might be more
appropriate. In just a few days, Frosty had pulled down the curtains in
Liam's bedroom, knocked a vase off the bookshelf, and sent the family
dog into hiding. The kitten was a mini-tornado. The white ball of fur
pounced and hissed commandingly, just as a sudden storm shows its
power with thunder and lightning.
A. kitten lay curled up on the sofa like a snowball.

D. A metaphor compares one thing to another without using “like” or “as”. So this already puts A. out because it compares a kitten to a snowball but uses like. B and C are both out because they don’t compare anything, and that leaves us with D which does compare the kitten to a mini-tornado and does not use like or as.

The kitten was a mini-tornado is the metaphor used in the text. Thus, option D is correct.

  2. pulled down the curtains
  3. knocked a vase
  4. sent the family
  5. dog into hiding
  6. pounced and hissed

The kitten here is compared to a mini tornado, which means that she has created havoc in the area in various ways, just like what a tornado does. Therefore, option D is the correct option.
