Identify similes and metaphors in this educational worksheet.

To solve this worksheet, we need to understand the difference between a simile and a metaphor.

* A simile compares two things using the words "like" or "as".
* A metaphor says one thing is another thing (without using "like" or "as"). It treats them as if they are the same.

Let’s go through each sentence one by one:

1) *Solving the riddle was as easy as ABC.*
→ Uses “as...as” → Simile

2) *The new show attracts people like bees to a honeypot.*
→ Uses “like” → Simile

3) *During the weekend, the store was a zoo.*
→ Says the store was a zoo (not literally!) → No “like” or “as” → Metaphor

4) *Mom is worried about Ethan; he is as thin as a rake.*
→ Uses “as...as” → Simile

5) *Sophia feels her new school is a whole new ball game.*
→ Says school is a ball game → Not literal, no “like/as” → Metaphor

6) *The restaurant had a rainbow of flavors for us to choose from.*
→ Flavors aren’t really a rainbow — it’s saying they’re colorful/varied → No “like/as” → Metaphor

7) *Please leave the windows open; it's like an oven in this room.*
→ Uses “like” → Simile

8) *Little Victor is the apple of everyone's eyes.*
→ He isn’t literally an apple → Says he is the apple → Metaphor

9) *The character in the movie eats like a pig and sleeps like a log.*
→ Two comparisons, both use “like” → Simile

10) *New York is a melting pot of various cultures.*
→ NYC isn’t literally a pot → Says it is a melting pot → Metaphor

Now let’s list the answers clearly:
