Which line from "Ode to the West Wind" is an example of a metaphor?

"O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn's being"
"Are driven like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing"
"Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red"
"(Driving sweet buds like flocks to feed in air)"

Answer :

" O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn's being" I believe is the correct answer it is comparing two things without using like or as.

Answer: A) "O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn's being."

Explanation: A metaphor is an indirect comparison between elements that aren't obviously related. It has the function of creating an image in the reader's mind, and help to explain a point. A simile is also a comparison but it relies in words like "like" and "as" to compare the elements. From the given lines the one that is an example of a metaphor is "O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn's being" it compares the west wind with the breath of Autumn, without using "like" or "as."
