Which term is used when life is described as a journey?

• A. Metaphor
• B. Personification
• C. Onomatopoeia
• D. Apostrophe

Answer: (A)

Describing life as a journey is a metaphor. It makes a direct comparison between life and a journey to convey qualities like progression, stages, and destinations without saying life literally becomes a travel experience. This use of imagery helps deepen understanding of life’s path. It isn’t personification, which would give life human traits; it isn’t onomatopoeia, which imitates sounds; and it isn’t an apostrophe, which involves addressing someone or something as if present.
