Question

Which of the following quotes from Walden is a simile?

Answer 1

''The life in us is like the water in the river'' would be the answer . A simile compares but with the words ''Like or as '' Hope this helps 

Answer 2

The correct answer is B. “The life in us is like the water in the river.”

Explanation:

In writing, the simile is one of the figures of speech used with the purpose of establishing a relationship or comparison between two elements. This can be identified because different from the metaphor the simile always uses comparison words to establish a relationship between the elements this includes the words like and as. Considering this, the quote that contains a simile is "The life in us is like the water in the river" because this is the only option that contains a comparison, in this case, between life and the water in a river using the comparison word "like".
