My new teacher Ms. Grossman could have been a pirate captain in another life. She looks like she is adventurous--I like tall, rugged boots she wears. Sometimes when she stands at the front of the class, I imagine her on a deck or behind a ship’s wheel. To me, her voice is like a loud, rough sea. It’s harsh but also soothing to hear.

Which sentence from the passage contains a simile?

• “My new teacher Ms. Grossman could have been a pirate captain in another life.”

• “And her voice is like a loud, rough sea.”

• “She looks like she is adventurous.”

• “I like the puffy, flowing blouses she wears.”
