Taking into account that a simile is a literary device used to compare two unlike things, the following examples provide a clear use of this resource in Shakespeare's masterpiece "Hamlet" (act three scene one):
King Claudios: <em>"For we have closely sent for Hamlet hither,
that he, </em><em>as </em><em>'twere by accident, may here affront Ophelia." </em>
Ophelia: "...<em>words of so sweet breath composed </em><em>as</em><em> made the things more rich..."</em>
Words such as "like" or "as" help the reader identify the use of this figurative speech.

<u>The phrase that reflects the ambiguity in the excerpt is the first option that states </u><em><u>"I started inventing things, and then I couldn't stop, like beavers."</u></em>
The phrase is ambiguous because the narrator is trying to say that just like beavers never stop getting tired of chewing hardwoods because of new growing teeth, he is never tired of inventing things. When the narrator started inventing things he could not stop just like a beaver does not stop.
So, the correct option is the first one.
