Read the paragraph. For a kid, it seems like driving a car is the coolest activity ever. However, adults will explain that there are good and bad sides to driving. While it is great to be able to go more places in a car, gas and maintenance can be very expensive. Also, driving a car requires one’s full attention, and there is always the risk of an accident. Adults report that one of the most frustrating things about driving is traffic. My mom says that when she drives home from work each day, the highway is a parking lot. A drive that should only take fifteen minutes can last more than an hour. It makes riding a bike sound a lot better!

What is the meaning of the metaphor in the paragraph?

1. Cars give people the freedom to drive wherever they want to go.
2. Cars are risky to drive and cause more trouble than they are worth.
3. Cars are delayed or stopped because so many people are using the road.
4. Cars are a better option than bicycles for getting from one place to another.
