Explanation:

Question 5

A metaphor makes a direct comparison (no "like" or "as"). Here, snow is directly called a blanket, so it's a metaphor, not a simile (which uses "like" or "as").

Question 6

A simile uses "like" or "as" to compare. Here, "like" compares the lion's roar to a thunderclap, showing their loud, powerful nature.

Question 7
