Question

which line from \im nobody! who are you?\ by emily dickinson contains a simile?

\then theres a pair of us-dont tell!\
\theyd banish us, you know.\
\how public, like a frog\
\to tell your name the livelong day\

Explanation:

Define a simile

A simile is a figure of speech comparing two different things using "like" or "as".

Analyze the poem's lines

We examine each option from Emily Dickinson's poem to find this comparison:

• "Then there's a pair of us—don't tell!" (No comparison words)
• "They'd banish us, you know." (No comparison words)
• "How public, like a frog" (Compares being "public" or famous to a frog using the word "like")
• "To tell your name the livelong day" (No comparison words)

Identify the correct option

The third option, "How public, like a frog", explicitly uses "like" to make a comparison, which is the defining characteristic of a Metaphors and Similes concept.

Answer:

• (A) "Then there's a pair of us—don't tell!"
• (B) "They'd banish us, you know."
• (C) "How public, like a frog" (Correct answer)
• (D) "To tell your name the livelong day"
