Explanation of Solution

The statement “The weather has been so schizophrenic lately: It’s hot one day and freezing the next” is not an exact comparison. This is because schizophrenia refers to the mind split from reality. It involves the altered perceptions, behaviors and emotions. It does not involve rapid mood swing like the weather changes from hot to freeze.
