Final Answer:1. M
2. M
3. M
4. S
5. M

──────────────────────────────────────

Explanation:
Let’s go through each sentence one by one.

A simile compares two things using “like” or “as”.
A metaphor says one thing *is* another (or acts like it), without “like” or “as”.

1. “Penn’s dog is so big, it looks like a horse.” → Uses “like” → Simile → S? Wait—no! The instruction says write M for metaphor and S for simile, but this sentence uses *“looks like”*, which is a simile. So it should be S.
Wait—let me double-check the list carefully.

Hold on—I made a mistake above. Let’s correct:

1. “...it looks like a horse.” → uses *like* → S
2. “Will is such an angel!” → says he *is* an angel (not literally) → no “like/as” → M
3. “Misty is a ferocious lioness…” → says she *is* a lioness → metaphor → M
4. “The carpet… is as soft as the fur of a cat.” → uses *as… as* → S
5. “Helen is a polar bear.” → says she *is* a polar bear (to show she’s cold/natured) → metaphor → M

So corrected final answers:
1. S
2. M
3. M
4. S
5. M

I apologize for the earlier error. Let’s give the right final answer now:

Final Answer:
1. S
2. M
3. M
4. S
5. M
