Answer:
(A) Simile
A simile is a figure of speech that uses comparison. In a simile, we use two specific words “like” and “as” to compare two unlikely things, that actually have nothing in common. This is done to bring out the dramatic nature of the prose and invoke vivid images and comparisons. It is one of the most common forms of a figure of speech and is used in everything from day-to-day talk to poems.
Let us see some examples of simile:
- She is as brave as a lion
- quite like a mouse
- as tall as a mountain
- as strong as an ox
- precious like an angel
(B) Metaphor
A metaphor and a simile are quite similar actually. A metaphor also uses compares to things that are in no way similar. It does so to bring out the symbolism. A metaphor is a word or phrase used to show its similarity to another thing. It helps to explain an idea, but if you take a metaphor at its literal meaning it will sound absurd.
Let us see some examples of metaphor:
- My teacher has a heart of stone.
- The classroom turns into a zoo during recess.
- The thunder at night was a mighty lion.
- You are the apple of my eye.
- His smile is my sunshine.
