Task Card #1:

> Which of the following sentences is a simile?

A. She is as busy as a bee. (red)
B. The sun rises in the east. (purple)
C. She loves to read mystery novels. (black)
D. Dogs are loyal companions. (yellow)

Step-by-step reasoning:

What is a simile?

→ A simile compares two things using the words “like” or “as”.

Example: “He runs like the wind.” → This is a simile because it uses “like”.

Another example: “She is as brave as a lion.” → Uses “as...as”, so it’s also a simile.

Now let’s look at each option:

- A. She is as busy as a bee.
→ Uses “as...as” → This IS a simile. ✔️

- B. The sun rises in the east.
→ Just a fact. No comparison with “like” or “as”. Not a simile.

- C. She loves to read mystery novels.
→ Statement about preference. No comparison. Not a simile.

- D. Dogs are loyal companions.
→ Simple statement. No “like” or “as”. Not a simile.

So only Option A fits the definition of a simile.

Also, note that next to Option A it says “(red)” — meaning if you choose this answer, you color the corresponding pixel red on your grid.
