Question 11 • FL-1001040-M/J Language Arts 2 B

Which line from "Aunty Misery” contains a simile?

Answer

“‘I wish that anyone who climbs up my pear tree should not be able to come back down until I permit it.’”

One day, a traveler stopped at the old woman's hut and asked her for permission to spend the night under her roof.

With a heavy sigh like wind through a tomb, Senor Death climbed the pear tree.

And no matter how much he cursed and threatened, Aunty Misery would not allow the tree to release Death.

Explanation

A simile compares two things using “like” or “as.” Choice C says Senor Death sighed “like wind through a tomb,” directly comparing his sigh to the sound of wind. The other lines do not make this kind of comparison.
