Which sentence contains a simile?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Her voice was like a cold winter morning.
- Step 1: A simile makes a comparison with 'like' or 'as'. Step 2. Only the sentence 'Her voice was like a cold winter morning.' uses the word 'like'. Answer: her voice was like a cold winter morning. Why not the others: The sentence 'Her voice was a cold winter morning.' is a metaphor, 'Her voice, so cold, so cold, so cold.' is repetition, and 'Her voice chilled the very walls.' is personification.
