Read the excerpt below and answer the question.
liberstina [14]

Answer:

C)This metaphor is significant because water is a symbol of youth and beauty, which the mirror reflects.

Explanation:

Metaphor is a figure of speech widely used in poems, because it is a figure of expressive content. Through the use of metaphor, the author can produce phrases of figurative meanings, through comparisons between two things that will bring a poetic and expressive meaning to a given phrase.

We can see an example of this, in the question above, where the author uses the metaphor to compare a mirror with a lake, in a very poetic way. This is because the mirror has the ability to reflect the image that is placed in front of you, when the woman places herself in front of the mirror she sees her young and beautiful image. Youth and beauty can be symbolized through the water of a lake that remains youthful for eternity and owner of a beauty reflected in its waters.
