The sentences that contain similes are:

✅-Sanjay, in his suit and tie, stood out <u>like</u> a sore thumb.

✅-Anika’s hands were shaking <u>like</u> leaves as she got up to give her presentation.

✅-The finch was <u>as</u> busy as a bee, building her nest.

✅-The cabin steward <u>as</u> a solemn sentinel on the shore of the lake.

A <u>simile</u> is using words like as or like is comparing a Subject to another thing. A <u>metaphor</u> is describing something but not using like or as.

The correct answers are B. Sanjay, in his suit and tie, stood out like a sore thumb, D. Anika's hands were shaking like leaves as she got up to give her presentation, E. The finch was as busy as a bee, building her nest, and F. The cabin stood as a solemn sentinel on the shore of the lake

Explanation:

The simile is a literary figure used in texts such as poetry to convey a deep meaning by comparing two or more ideas, objects or elements. This literary figure can be identified because different from metaphor, it uses explicit words to establish a comparison; this includes the words "like" and "as". This implies the sentences that contain simile are

  • Sanjay, in his suit and tie, stood out like a sore thumb-because in this the suit and tie are compared to a sore thumb using "like"
  • Anika’s hands were shaking like leaves as she got up to give her presentation- because the way Anika shakes is compared to the movement of leaves using "as"
  • The finch was as busy as a bee, building her nest-because "as" is used to compare the finch and the bee
  • The cabin stood as a solemn sentinel on the shore of the lake- because "as" creates a comparison between the cabin and a solemn sentinel
