English

Taking into account that a simile is a literary device used to compare two unlike things, the following examples provide a clear use of this resource in Shakespeare's masterpiece "Hamlet" (act three scene one):

King Claudios: <em>"For we have closely sent for Hamlet hither, that he, </em><em>as </em><em>'twere by accident, may here affront Ophelia."  </em>

Ophelia: "...<em>words of so sweet breath composed  </em><em>as</em><em> made the things more rich..."</em>

Words such as "like" or "as" help the reader identify the use of this figurative speech.

As you read the passage, which of these answers makes sense when it comes to Elmer?  Looking through it, I see that Elmer was a child at the time of the story and was on an adventure.  So, to say he was lazy does not make sense.  Since he was a child looking for a dragon, it is unlikely that bravery was a part of this scenario. That leaves foolish or lost.  He as stood there for awhile watching the lion, so I would say that foolish is the best answer.
