This metaphor emphasizes the superficial and selfish motivation behind voluntour opportunities, as shown in the third answer option.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The metaphor states that some people volunteer to be admired and not out of a desire to do good.
  • In this case, the author of the text shows that this type of attitude is more prominent in people who do voluntour work, which is the combination of volunteering and tourism.
  • In this case, the voluntour is something created to increase people's ego, as it allows activities to be carried out, with exhibitionist motives, such as a gold star in a bulletin or other type of document.

This question is related to the text "Voluntourism: An Opportunity Too Good to be True" and the sentence that shows this metaphor is:

"For example, they sign up to build a school for a gold star on their resume, but they have no real building skills and take jobs away from local construction workers (Schulten)."
