Explanation:

Question 1

A metaphor directly compares two unlike things without using "like" or "as". "I was as snug as a bug in a rug", "He felt as light as a feather", and "She was as brave as a lion" use "as", making them similes. "The world is a stage" directly compares the world to a stage, a metaphor.

Descriptive writing uses details to create a vivid image. "The sun was shining", "The children were playing", and "She walked to school" are simple statements. "The old, decrepit house stood on the corner of the tree - lined street" uses adjectives ("old", "decrepit", "tree - lined") to describe the house and street, showing descriptive writing.

Answer:

B. The world is a stage
