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
