The correct answer is the following: <em>option B. A simile is a direct comparison and a type of figurative poetic device.</em> A simile is a type of figure of speech generally used in poetry to make a comparison to show similarities between two different things. It is a direct comparison instead of an indirect one because it uses words such as "like" or "as" to make the resemblance between the two things that are being compared to each other. Poets use similes as a tool to convey their sentiments and thoughts in a vivid way.

<em>d. "beautiful"</em>.

In terms of looks, though we don't use "beautiful" to describe males, as the question requires it, I will be using it here.

<em>g. "young". </em>

Keira is <u><em>younger </em></u>than Angelina but Kirsten is the <u><em>youngest </em></u>of all.

Robben is <u><em>younger </em></u>than Ibrahimovic but Pique is the <u><em>youngest </em></u>of all.

<em>h. "old". </em>

Keira is <u><em>older </em></u>than Kirsten but Angelina is the <u><em>oldest </em></u>among the three actresses.

Robben is <u><em>older </em></u>than Pique but Ibrahimovic is the <u><em>oldest </em></u>player among the three.  

Explanation:

The comparative and superlative degrees are the varying degrees of adjectives that provide comparisons between things. While the comparative form is used for two things, the superlative degree is used when the comparison is between two or more things.

The personalities to be compared are the actresses Kirsten Steward, Keira Knightley, and Angelina Jolie in one section and the soccer players Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Arjen Robben, and Gerard Pique in the other section.

<em>a. "Tall" - taller, tallest</em>

Angelina Jolie is taller than Kirsten Steward. But Keira Knightley is the tallest of them all.

Gerard Pique is taller than Arjen Robben. But Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the tallest of them all.

<em>b. "short" - shorter, shortest</em>

Angelina Jolie is shorter than Keira Knightley. But Kirsten Steward is the shortest of them all.

Pique is shorter than Ibrahimovic. But Robben is the shortest of them all.

<em>c. "long".- longer, longest</em>

Keira Knightley has lived longer than Kirsten. But Angelina has lived the longest of all.

Robben has lived longer than Pique but Ibrahimovic has lived the longest of all three.

<em>d. "beautiful"</em>.- <em>more beautiful, most beautiful.</em>

I think that Kirsten is more beautiful than Angelina. But Keira is the most beautiful of all.

In terms of looks, though we don't use "beautiful" to describe males, as the question requires it, I will be using it here.

For me, I think Ibrahimovic looks more beautiful than Robben but Pique is the most beautiful of the three.

<em>e. "good".- better, best.</em>

I think that Keira is a better actress than Kirsten. But Angelina is the best of all.

I think that Pique is a better player than Robben. But Ibrahimovic is the best player of all.

According to me, Keira's acting is worse than Angelina’s. But Kirsten's acting is the worse of all.

For me, Robben's football skills are worse than Ibrahimovic. But Pique's moves are the worse of all.

<em>g. "young".- younger, youngest.</em>

Keira is younger than Angelina but Kirsten is the youngest of all.

Robben is younger than Ibrahimovic but Pique is the youngest of all.
