Angelo Duran · Answer 1

I think it is B, i am so sorry if that is wrong.

Explanation:

A metaphor is a figure of speech, something implied by a character. As for a symbol, it means a lot more and is slightly connected to themes. They give off a feeling and meaning to the text, so it applies to larger themes.

Note: I am probably wrong, these are just my thoughts.

A metaphor can be an abstract comparison, while a symbol must appear in the plot of a story.

Explanation: According to the passage, "Unlike metaphors, symbols are more than a straightforward comparison. Symbols actually appear in the plot of a story."
