Respuesta :

The correct answers are

Metaphor: She's an encyclopedia; We're just old news; I'm spreading my wings.

Simile: It's hard as steel; He's crafty like a fox; I'm strong like a bull

Explanation:

Both Simile and Metaphor are rhetorical figures used to describe a person, animal, object, etc. by making a comparison. The key difference between these two figures is that in SImile explicit comparison words such as "like" or "as" are used, while in metaphor the comparison occurs directly. This means, in the sentences "It's hard as steel", "He's crafty like a fox" and " I'm strong like a bull" there is simile due to the use of like and as, while in the rest of the options there is a metaphor because comparison occurs directly.
