Which phrase from the poem "Monet’s ‘Waterlilies’” by Robert Hayden is an example of a simile?

Answer
A
“the serene, great picture that I love”
B
“the eye like the eye of faith believes”
C
“illusive flesh of light”
D
“Here is the shadow of its joy”

Explanation

A simile compares two things using a word such as “like” or “as.” The phrase “the eye like the eye of faith believes” makes a comparison with “like,” so choice B is the simile. The other phrases do not use this kind of explicit comparison.
