question

Which picture matches the meaning of the simile?

Maria was like a rocket in Saturday's track race.

key idea

Similes are figures of speech that compare two things that are not actually alike. Using similes in your writing can help you create an interesting picture for the reader.

A simile compares two things by saying that one is like the other. Similes often use the word like or as.

The cat's fur was as dark as the night sky.

The night sky is very dark, so the simile suggests that the cat's fur is also very dark.

solution

The second picture matches the meaning of the simile. Rockets move fast, so the simile suggests that Maria ran fast in the race.
