the laughter at the party flowed like water.

he was as emotionless and expressionless as a stone.

Explanation:

The task is to identify examples that do not use "like" or "as" (these are metaphors, while the ones with "like/as" are similes). We check each option:

1. "The puppies were a tornado of destruction as they played." uses "as" to mean "while", not for comparison, so it does not use "like/as" for the figurative comparison.
2. "The snow was a white blanket over the whole town." has no "like" or "as" in its figurative comparison.
3. "The laughter at the party flowed like water." uses "like", so it is excluded.
4. "He was as emotionless and expressionless as a stone." uses "as", so it is excluded.

Answer:

☑️ The puppies were a tornado of destruction as they played.
☑️ The snow was a white blanket over the whole town.
