Question

Identify the simile among the given options:

• A. The deer darted through the grass.
• B. The sun shone bright on the window sill.
• C. They were frozen with fear.
• D. The scarf felt as light as a feather.

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two things. It uses the words 'as...as' and 'like' in its comparison.

Option D: The sentence compares two things with one another, the 'scarf' with the 'feather', and it contains the word 'as...as': the scarf is light, like a feather.

Hence, it displays a simile and option D is correct.

Option A: This sentence states an action 'deer darted through the grass' and does not express any comparison.

Option B: 'This statement, too, states an action 'the sun shone bright'.

Option C: This sentence states an action 'they were frozen with fear'.

These options do not show any comparison and hence don't express a simile.

Hence, options A, B and C are wrong.
