Read the following poem, and then choose the correct answer.
In the vast realm of friendships, a treasure untold, A bond so pure, more precious than gold. A poem I weave, with words that shall convey, The beauty of friendship, lighting our way.
Like a gentle breeze on a warm summer's day, Friendship whispers softly, never to betray. Through joy and sorrow, hand in hand we tread, In the tapestry of life, our friendship widespread.
Through laughter and tears, we find solace in each other, A shoulder to lean on, a friend like no other. With shared dreams and aspirations, we unite, Supporting each other, shining in friendship's light.
In moments of doubt, when shadows may loom, Friendship emerges, dispelling the gloom. With comforting words and understanding eyes, We lift each other up, as true friends recognize.
Through seasons that change, our friendship holds strong, A beacon of hope when things go wrong. We celebrate victories, big and small, Cheering each other, standing tall.
In the garden of friendship, trust takes root, Nurturing the bond, bearing sweetest fruit. We listen, we care, in empathy we partake, For in true friendship, hearts forever awake.
So let us cherish these connections we find, The gift of friendship, a treasure divine. A poem of unity, loyalty, and love, Friendship, a blessing sent from above.

Answer explanation
A simile is a figure of speech that compares two different things using the words "like" or "as." It is a literary device that creates a vivid image by drawing similarities between two seemingly unrelated things. Similes are used to make descriptions more imaginative and engaging by highlighting characteristics or qualities that are shared between the two objects being compared. For example, "Her smile is as bright as the sun" is a simile that compares the brightness of a smile to the brightness of the sun. Similes are commonly used in poetry, literature, and everyday language to enhance descriptions and create a stronger impact on the reader or listener.

Which of the following is an example of a metaphor?
The wind whispered through the trees.
Her smile was as bright as the sun.
The moon shone like a silver coin.
The river flowed swiftly and smoothly.
The book was filled with interesting stories.
Answer explanation
A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action by referring to something else, implying a comparison or similarity between the two. It is a way to convey meaning or create vivid imagery by stating that one thing is another, even though they are not literally the same.
Unlike similes, which use "like" or "as" to make comparisons, metaphors directly state the comparison without using such explicit comparative words. Metaphors can be found in literature, poetry, everyday language, and various forms of creative expression.
For example, in the phrase "Time is a thief," time is compared to a thief, suggesting that time steals or takes away things from us. This metaphorical statement expresses the idea that time passes quickly and we lose opportunities or experiences as it goes by.
