The phrase "the teacher's wisdom flowed like a river" uses a metaphor to describe how the teacher's wisdom was shared and had a positive impact. It likens the flow of wisdom to a river, suggesting that it was continuous and nourishing. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.

 

Option A is not the correct answer because the metaphor emphasises the sharing and nourishing aspect of the wisdom, not its quantity.

 

Option B is not the correct answer because the metaphor does not imply constant change.

 

Option C is not the correct answer because the metaphor suggests that the wisdom was accessible and beneficial, not difficult to understand.
