Select the correct text in the passage. Which sentence in this excerpt from Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton uses a simile? She laug

hed with pleasure, her head tilted back, the lamplight sparkling on her lips and teeth. "That would be lovely, Ethan!" He kept his eyes fixed on her, marveling at the way her face changed with each turn of their talk, like a wheat-field under a summer breeze. It was intoxicating to find such magic in his clumsy words, and he longed to try new ways of using it. "Would you be scared to go down the Corbury road with me on a night like this?" he asked. Her cheeks burned redder. "I ain't any more scared than you are!"

The sentence in this excerpt that shows a simile is:

"He kept his eyes fixed on her, marveling at the way <u>her face changed with each turn of their talk, like a wheat-field under a summer breeze</u>."

In this part of the sentence, the author is comparing the face with a wheat-field.

A simile is a figure of speech that compares two different things using the words "like" or "as" to reflect the comparison. A simile is different from a metaphor since the simile uses "like" or "as" whereas a metaphor just states the comparison.
