Question

Which of these lines contains a simile? (5 points) She spoke to the tree, admonishing its impudent, craggy boughs. She was transformed into a reptile-one of particularly repulsive appearance. Her eyes darted between the two of us like sparrows between trees. Her skin was coffee, hot and dark, and she moved in my thoughts.

Answer 1

Right answer is "Her eyes darted between the two of us like sparrows between trees" (comparing using like)

"Her skin was coffee, hot and dark, and she moved in my thoughts." is instead a metaphor and then it's wrong.

Answer 2

Her eyes darted between the two of us like sparrows between trees.

A simile is a figure of speech used for comparison between two things. It usually has the keywords 'like' or 'as'
