Question

Besides, they are about as edible as the tough, dry bark in a long dead tree is an example of which type of comparison?
A)
hyperbole
B)
metaphor
C)
oxymoron
D)
simile

Answer 1

D simile because a simile, unlike a metaphor, shows how the two things are SIMILAR (simile=similar) using "like" and "as". Metaphors are like simile's but they don't compare with like and as. Simile: The clouds are like marshmallows. Metaphor: The clouds are marshmallows. Hope this helps!
