Answer 1

Simile is a figure of speech(poetic device) that compares two things using "like" or "as".Simile and metaphor are almost similar,but metaphor don't use "like" or "as" to compare two things.

Examples:-

• He is very intelligent as Einstein.
• A fat looks like a round ball.
• Ice-cream cold as ice.
• He looks like an animal.

Answer 2

Simile is a figure of speech comparing two unlike things that is often introduced by like or as.

For example:-

1. As white as snow.
2. As bold as a lion.
3. As cold as ice.
4. As proud as a peacock.

Some extra knowledge:

While both similes and metaphors are used to make comparisons, the difference between similes and metaphors comes down to a word. Similes use the words like or as to compare things—“Life is like a box of chocolates.” In contrast, metaphors directly state a comparison—“Love is a battlefield.”
