Sample question What is the difference between a simile and a metaphor?
Let’s try it out • A- The difference between a simile and a metaphor is the use of the words like and as. • C- In a simile, the words “like” or “as” as used to draw a comparison between two things. In a metaphor, a comparison between to objects is made without the use of “like” or “as”. • E- In one of her songs Taylor Swift makes the statement “you, with your words like knives”.
