It looks like you've uploaded an image of a worksheet titled
"Figurative Language – idiom, simile, metaphor". The worksheet contains several multiple-choice questions designed to help students identify and understand different types of figurative language:
idioms,
similes, and
metaphors.
Since I can't view images directly, I’ll need you to provide the
text content of the worksheet or describe the questions and answer choices so I can help solve and explain them.
However, based on the visible text in your description, here’s what I can infer:
---
Worksheet Overview:
The goal is to identify whether a given phrase is an
idom,
simile, or
metaphor.
#### Definitions provided (likely):
-
Idiom: A common expression whose meaning is different from the literal meaning.
-
Simile: A comparison using "like" or "as".
-
Metaphor: A direct comparison without "like" or "as".

Example Questions (based on typical structure):
Let me assume the questions are similar to these common examples:
1.
"By all the time left in your pants, I wouldn’t give you one single dime for that sandwich."
- This is likely a
metaphor or
idiom — but “time left in your pants” is not standard. It might be a
metaphor for "time remaining" or a made-up expression. Likely intended as a
metaphor.
2.
"I was walking to the store when a shadow walked past me and my shadow was covered with ashes, her mouth opened and she said, 'Her name is death, and I am a person who has died.'”
- This is poetic and symbolic. Likely a
metaphor — the shadow represents death.
3.
"The broken crooked sword flew like a bird of lightning over the mountain."
- Uses
"like" → this is a
simile.
4.
"Loomed up before us were the two huge pillars at the airport, perfectly aligned."
- No comparison; just descriptive. Not figurative. But if it's meant to be
"the pillars loomed like giants", then it would be a
simile.
5.
"The stormy night had a length of thunder after thunder crashing into the rocks until the whole valley echoed."
- Descriptive, but no clear comparison. If it says something like “thunder roared like a lion,” then it’s a
simile.
6.
"I can't understand a word you're saying on the phone because the baby is making a noise like a blender."
- Uses
"like" →
simile.
7.
"Martha made a soup and held the spoon out with a smile, saying, 'I'm going to get you.'"
- This seems ambiguous. If “get you” means “catch you” or “fool you,” it could be an
idiom.

General Rules Recap:

|------|------------------|
|
Idiom | Meaning is not literal (e.g., "kick the bucket") |
|
Simile | Uses
"like" or
"as" to compare (e.g., "as fast as lightning") |
|
Metaphor | Direct comparison without "like" or "as" (e.g., "Time is a thief") |
