question 9 of 17
which sentence contains the best example of a simile?

a. pizza is the greatest invention in all of human history.

b. the serene lake was as flawless as a polished mirror.

c. the football player was a bear; he was unstoppable.

d. an array of dominoes showed us what she did for fun.

Explanation:

A simile uses "like" or "as" to compare two things. Option A is a hyperbole. Option B uses "as" to compare the lake to a polished mirror, so it's a simile. Option C is a metaphor (no "like"/"as"). Option D is a description without comparison.

Answer:

B. The serene lake was as flawless as a polished mirror.
