A metaphor and a simile both describe something using a comparison to something else, but a metaphor does it an implied way, and a simile does it explicitly by using the word like or as. 

Example of a simile: She looked like a cat that had just been thrown in the water.
Example of a metaphor: She was a blank slate, ready to start anew.

In Canto V, when Dante the Pilgrim hears Francesca's story, he feels ______.
butalik [34]
The correct answer is A.

Dante feels grief for Francesca's tragic life. He even weeps with pity for her situation. Dante considers her sin different from the others, because she could not rationally control falling in love. Other sins, like murder, require the sinner to actively choose to sin. On the other hand, falling in love happens without our choosing. That's why Dante feels so bad.
