Question

spring cleaning
i guess its that time of year again,
springtime cleaning, oh what a pain!

coats covering my floor like a giant carpet,
oh my goodness, i am starting to sweat.

my room is coated with a lot of dust,
the thought of cleaning is way too much.

shirts and pants, shoes and socks,
all stacked high like large piles of rocks.

a mountain of books under my bed,
i dont even remember what i had read.

so much to do, cleaning will be an event,
this job will be as big as an elephant

which line from the poem is an example of a simile?
a. \i guess its that time of year again\
b. \coats covering my floor like a giant carpet\
c. \a mountain of books under my bed\
d. \shirts and pants, shoes and socks\

Explanation:

A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two different things using the words "like" or "as".

• Option A is a simple statement with no comparison.
• Option B uses "like" to compare coats on the floor to a giant carpet, fitting the definition of a simile.
• Option C is a metaphor (comparing books to a mountain without "like" or "as").
• Option D is just a list of items with no comparison.

Answer:

B. "Coats covering my floor like a giant carpet"
