Question 9 • *CR Expository Reading and Writing S1 [E4250OX]

Which excerpt from Leslie Marmon Silko’s story "The Man to Send Rain Clouds" contains a simile?

Answer

H

He turned the colored pages full of lepers and pagans without looking at them.

T

They both stooped to fit through the low adobe entrance.

B

But there he was, facing into a cold dry wind and squinting at the last sunlight. . . .

.

. . . the water fell through the light from sundown like August rain that fell while the sun was still shining.

Explanation

A simile compares two things using words such as “like” or “as.” In choice D, the water is compared to August rain using “like,” so it contains a simile. The other excerpts do not make this kind of comparison.
