Answer:
1. The trees hovered over the hiking trails like <em><u>an umbrella</u></em>.
2. The lightning flashed like <u><em>Zeus' thunderbolt</em></u>.
3. His heart was as cold as <em><u>stone</u></em>.
4. The car was as fast as <em><u>the Flash</u></em>.
5. The ocean was as blue as <u><em>a clear sky</em></u>.
Explanation:
Similes are literary techniques used to make comparisons between similar things though there is no relation between the two. They are the same as metaphors except that similes use "like" and "as" in each comparison.
The given incomplete sentences are filled with similes as follows-
1. The trees hovered over the hiking trails like <em><u>an umbrella</u></em>.
2. The lightning flashed like <u><em>Zeus' thunderbolt</em></u>.
3. His heart was as cold as <em><u>stone</u></em>.
4. The car was as fast as <em><u>the Flash</u></em>.
5. The ocean was as blue as <u><em>a clear sky</em></u>.
A is wrong because it has Nobody and nothing in the same sentence. That makes the meaning of the sentence confusing because there are too many negatives.
Same goes for B. B has Never and no in it. Double negatives.
<em><u>C is the correct answer.</u></em><em><u /></em><u />
D is wrong because it has Don't which is a contraction for "Do not" and it also has nobody.
Hope that helps :)<em><u>

The last sentence contains an error. It should be “will be playing” or “have been playing” instead of “will been playing”.
