Oh honey, let me break it down for you. Saying "food without salt is like eating cardboard" is a simile, not a metaphor. A simile uses "like" or "as" to compare two things, while a metaphor just states that one thing is another. So next time someone tries to correct you, you can tell them to take a hike!

Is the comparison in line six a simile or metaphor?

To determine if the comparison in line six is a simile or a metaphor, we need to look for specific language. A simile uses "like" or "as" to make a comparison, while a metaphor directly states that one thing is another without those words. If line six uses "like" or "as," it's a simile; if it does not but implies a direct equivalence, it's a metaphor. Without the actual text, I can't definitively categorize it.
