Shows how two things are alike/different or how one is better than the other.

• A. Metaphor
• B. Comparison
• C. Exaggerate
• D. Cause

Answer: (B)

This shows what a comparison does: it looks at how two things are alike or different, and can also note which one is better in a given way. That exact idea—checking similarities and differences or advantages—is what a comparison is for. A metaphor, while it links two things, does so as an image rather than a side-by-side analysis of similarities, differences, or relative value. Exaggeration stretches the truth for effect, not for comparing items. A cause explains why something happens, not how things compare to each other. So the concept described is comparison.
