A simile is a comparison of two unlike things using "like" or "as".
For example:
"John was like an eagle, as he quickly spotted the rabbit, and was able to capture it."
Note that the word <em>like</em> was used, and that it compared <em>John</em> with the <em>eagle</em>

Expository text gets to the point rather quickly. It is intended as education rather than just narrative text. An example of narrative text is the Excerpt by Charles Dickens which is meant to draw a picture of what this woman was like.
So the last one is out.
The first one talks about volcanoes and how they are classified. That's one of your answers if you are trying for brevety and education.
I think the second one would also be a choice. It is trying to show you the nature of anxiety and what causes it. You learn a lot about symptoms from reading it. It's quick and to the point. Expository? Yes.
I don't think four is exactly expository, but I might be wrong. It sounds too argumentative to be completely expository. It wouldn't be my first choice even though I have read Twain a great deal, beginning in my teens. He always has something pointedly funny to say about the human condition. So it's hard for me not to include him in anything. It's not exactly narrative either. The tough ones are three and four.
Three tries to tell you what it would be like to live in another country. I think it likely is the choice you are looking for.
Answers 1,23. I could be wrong, so if you have a different answer in mind, go with it.
Explanation:
Several ancient Egyptian deities were depicted and sculptured with cat-like heads such as Mafdet, Bastet and Sekhmet, representing justice, fertility and power. ... The protective function of cats is indicated in the Book of the Dead, where a cat represents Ra and the benefits of the sun for life on Earth.
My brother and I
Sometimes I wonder how we could be so different with my brother if we were raised in the same way. Although I think that we may have some similarities too.
Both my brother and me, were raised equally and we were given the same opportunities. As far as looks, people say that we are very much alike, both of us tall and thin, with fair complexion. In addition to that, we also have strong family values.
However, I can't find any more similarities than those listed above. Unlike my brother, I'm a very sociable person. He is reserved and doesn't have a lot of friends. Another extremely noticeable difference is that although money is important, my life doesn't spin around it while my brother is very materialistic.
Finally, our hobbies are completely different. I love nature and playing sports. Nevertheless my brother has never played a single sport in all his life. He is a bookworm and his ideal weekend is staying at home with a book and a movie.
To sum up, many siblings that have the same parents look a lot alike. Siblings that are raised the same usually share a lot in common. I can't imagine having a brother who is less like me then he is. It's hard to understand how we ended up so different, but were raised the same exact way. Nonetheless, there is one thing that won't change and that is the bond that we have through life, in spite of our differences.
