Answer from: Description

The correct answer is C. “However, chores are building blocks for a firm foundation.”

Explanation:

In language, a metaphor refers to a figure of speech that consists in the comparison of two elements or concepts to convey an abstract complex idea or mark the similarities between the objects being compared. This figure of speech differs from the simile because the simile uses words of comparison such as "like" or "as" to create the comparison, but the metaphor states the comparison without these words. Considering this, the sentence from the text that includes a metaphor is "However, chores are building blocks for a firm foundation", because in this sentence the author compares the chores to the building blocks to explain the importance of chores for children to the importance of blocks in a construction creating an abstract idea through comparison which is the main purpose of metaphors.
