Let's solve this step by step.
We need to determine whether each sentence is a
simile or a
metaphor.
Definitions:
-
Simile: A comparison using words like
"like" or
"as".
-
Metaphor: A direct comparison that states one thing
is another (without "like" or "as").
Now, let’s analyze each sentence:
---

"as...as" → Simile
✔ S
2.

✔ M
