What is a simile?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. A comparison of two things using 'like' or 'as', for example 'brave as a lion'
- Step 1: A simile always signals the comparison with a word such as like or as. Step 2. 'Brave as a lion' does this. Answer: a comparison using like or as. Why not the others: A comparison without like or as is a metaphor, an exaggeration is a hyperbole, and human qualities given to an object are personification.
