The phrase, "Closes its wings and shrinks, a frightened bird" is an example of A
metaphor.
В
paradox.
С
simile.
D
euphemism.

Option B

Explanation:

Let's use process of elimination to find this answer. It's not option A because a metaphor is comparing two things without using the words like or as. It's not option C because simile is comparing two things WHILE using like or as. It's not option D because euphemism is usually a statement that seems to be too harsh. Therefore the answer is option B or "paradox" and that's because paradox is a statement that while seems to be false through investigation can be proven true.

Hope this helps.
