Metaphor is a figure of speech comparing two unlike things without using "like" or "as". Based on the given text, it have no like or as word inside the text so that's why the answer is METAPHOR. A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in a way that isn’t literally true, but helps explain an idea or make a comparison. Metaphors are used in poetry, literature, and anytime someone wants to add some color to their language, If you take a metaphor literally, it will probably sound very strange (are there actually any sheep, black or otherwise, in your family?).
