A sentence featuring the literal meaning of the word snake: Anita told everyone she would like a snake for her birthday.
A sentence featuring a simile with the word snake: The kite string was wrapped around the branch like a snake.
A sentence featuring a metaphor with the word snake: Todd was a snake in the grass, waiting for a chance to strike.
Explanation:
Words have two types of meaning:
- Denotation - their literal meaning;
- Connotation - the emotional or cultural association they carry.
Both the metaphor and simile are figures of speech used to compare two different things. This comparison is based on the similarity of one of their aspects. The simile is recognizable by the use of words <em>like </em>and <em>as</em>, while the metaphor omits them, stating that something is something else.
With this information, we can easily solve the question you were given.
