The correct answers are
Metaphor: She's an encyclopedia; We're just old news; I'm spreading my wings.
Simile: It's hard as steel; He's crafty like a fox; I'm strong like a bull
Explanation:
Both Simile and Metaphor are rhetorical figures used to describe a person, animal, object, etc. by making a comparison. The key difference between these two figures is that in SImile explicit comparison words such as "like" or "as" are used, while in metaphor the comparison occurs directly. This means, in the sentences "It's hard as steel", "He's crafty like a fox" and " I'm strong like a bull" there is simile due to the use of like and as, while in the rest of the options there is a metaphor because comparison occurs directly.

Explanation:
Those four correct answers from your question are considering one of the rules on how to read properly when it comes to punctuation in the sentences. <u>When reading, readers must pay attention to those punctations and often those are comma, a period, question mark and exclamation point. </u>
They are used to make the sentence more understandable and to reach the point of the idea of the sentence.
- The answers that are not correct are ''reading quickly without pausing at commas'' which is incorrect because it will confuse the readers. Where there is a semicolon there should not be a complete halt as it is when it comes to a period at the end of the sentence.
