Answer 2

Answer:

1. a pig
2. cloud
3. nightingale

Explanation:

What is a simile?

• Simile is a figure of speech that is used for direct and vivid comparisons between objects or emotions.
• Usually words "like" and "as" are used to make the comparison.

In this case,

1. In the first sentence eating habits have been compared to that of a pig because of the messy and unruly table manners the mentioned person might have.
2. In the second sentence, the whiteness is compared to that of a cloud because clouds are the most white natural element apart from snow. Snow can't be used because it is not a singular term.
3. In the third sentence, the comparison for her singing is done to a nightingale which is a bird who sings very sweetly. This is meant to convey that her voice is very sweet and heavenly for singing.
