Neither, a metaphor would be like "I'm so hungry that I could probably eat an elephant," while a simile would have 'like' or 'as' to describe something.

The correct answer is neither. The sentence "We shall step upon white down" is neither a simile nor a metaphor.

Similes and metaphors are figures of speech mainly used in literature to provide a special effect to a piece of writing. Both similes and metaphors are based on comparisons; however, there are differences between them. A simile compares things using the words "like" or "as". An example of a simile is: "She was as white as snow". On the other hand, a metaphor states a comparison in a direct way using the verb "be". "Her eyes are a poem" is an example of metaphor. In that way, the sentence "We shall step upon white down" does not establish a simile nor a metaphor because it does not include a comparison between two things.

Answer:

She hopes her daughter is a "fool" because she doesn't want her daughter to know that she deserves better than what the world will give to her. Men are seen above women so the best thing a woman can be is beautiful because her husband will treat her better than if she were viewed as ugly. Being beautiful would also help her to get a husband in a better wealth class. Daisy knows how cruel the world can be towards women

Which sentence would best create a strong, descriptive image in the reader’s mind if it were added after sentence 4? He was cast

aksik [14]

The answer is C. "the man's behavour led me to guess...upset in someone."

Sentences A and B describe the actions and manners, showing the man's behaviour and anxiety: casting quick glances, his foot beating on the hot pavement etc. appearing he could even explode with anger. At some point (C), he changed and just got calm, wainting silently, leading the speaker to wonder if the cause of all this could be the bus' delay.
