question

Which picture matches the meaning of the simile?

The rain came down like a stampede of horses.

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 first picture matches the meaning of the simile. A stampede is many animals running quickly together, so the simile suggests a fast, heavy rain.
