@Brainybeauty That's what I was thinking, wasn't sure though. If I get it correct, I will award you.

@Brainybeauty Nope, I'll try the 3rd one this time.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Brainybeauty Nope, not that one either.

100% sure. I just confirmed what an analogy is. For example, "You are as annoying as nails on a chalkboard" is an analogy.
