Let’s go through each sentence one by one and pick the best word from the box to complete the simile.
The words in the box are:
- baby

- whistle
- lion
- dogs
Now, let’s match them to the sentences:
1.

→ Who or what is known for being brave? A
lion! Lions are often called “brave” or “courageous.” So this fits.
2.

→ This is a common saying: “fight like cats and dogs.” So the answer is
dogs.
3.
The comedian is as funny as a barrel of ________.
→ There’s an old phrase: “funny as a barrel of monkeys.” Monkeys are silly and playful — perfect for a comedian! So it’s
monkeys.
4.

6.
Last night I slept like a ________.
→ When you sleep very deeply and peacefully, you “sleep like a
baby.” Babies are known for sleeping soundly (when they’re not crying!).
Let’s double-check that we used each word only once and all make sense:
- lion → brave ✔️
- dogs → cats and dogs ✔️
- monkeys → barrel of monkeys ✔️
- angel → sings like an angel ✔️
