Question

Which sentence contains a simile?


How it had survived in this wasteland, Cara would never know.


He stood in the midst of the parking lot like a lone boat in the middle of the ocean.


Edie would never forgive her for what she had said.


As Cara shuffled through the neglected, barren parking lot, she though about the fight.

Answer 1

The sentence "He stood in the midst of the parking lot like a lone boat in the middle of the ocean." contains a simile because a simile is a figure of speech that uses "like" and "as."

Answer 2

Answer:

He stood in the midst of the parking lot like a lone boat in the middle of the ocean.

Explanation:

A simile is a comparison of 2 things using 'like or as'. Although the last sentence has 'as' in it, nothing is being compared (to Cara). The second sentence is comparing 'He' and "a lone boat in the middle of the ocean"

Hope this helps :)
