Question 1 • (OC27) ENG 4-1001400-S2-VRobinson-VOL7006P

Which phrase from the poem is a simile?

Answer
A
“that courage like a rock”
B
“rock from New England quarried”
C
“I have no thing I treasure more”
D
“the golden brooch my mother wore”

Explanation

A simile compares two things using a word such as “like” or “as.” The phrase “that courage like a rock” compares courage to a rock using “like,” so it is the simile. The other phrases describe a rock, a treasured thing, or a brooch without making that kind of comparison.
