It is comparing the speaker's solitariness to that of a cloud
The correct answers are
Metaphor: She's an encyclopedia; We're just old news; I'm spreading my wings.
Simile: It's hard as steel; He's crafty like a fox; I'm strong like a bull
Explanation:
Both Simile and Metaphor are rhetorical figures used to describe a person, animal, object, etc. by making a comparison. The key difference between these two figures is that in SImile explicit comparison words such as "like" or "as" are used, while in metaphor the comparison occurs directly. This means, in the sentences "It's hard as steel", "He's crafty like a fox" and " I'm strong like a bull" there is simile due to the use of like and as, while in the rest of the options there is a metaphor because comparison occurs directly.
