Identify the simile among the given options:

A
They ran like the wind.

B
She was a bird - free to fly anywhere.

C

Solution

A simile is a figure of speech that compares two things to one another. It will always have 'as' or 'like'.
Option A: This sentence compares two things together 'they' ran 'like' in the same manner as 'the wind'. The word 'like' displays this comparison. Hence, this is a simile and option A is correct.

Option C: This indicates an action and does not show comparison.
Option D: This sentence, too, states and action and not a comparison.
Hence, options B, C and D are wrong.

A phrasal verb is a verb combined with an adverb or preposition (or both) to provide a variety of meanings. 'Gave up' is a phrasal verb that means 'to stop doing something'. It's relevant in meaning to the sentence, as "he" requests the person "she" to stop drinking, to give it up, hence option B is correct. 'Gave out' means 'gave something to several people', like 'he gave out free samples to the people'; it's irrelevant here hence option A is incorrect. 'Gave away' means 'to let go of some belongings you don't need anymore', like in 'she gave away her stationery to an NGO'; as it's irrelevant here, option C is incorrect. 'Gave way' means 'to give place to someone to pass through', like in 'she gave way to the person who seemed to be in a hurry'. As it's not relevant to the sentence, option D is also incorrect.

In the given sentence, "used up" is a phrasal verb, it's a combination of verb (used) + adverb (up) and it means 'depleted, exhausted'; hence option B is correct. "They used" is a combination of subject and verb, whereas a phrasal verb consists of an adverb/preposition; hence it's not a phrasal verb and option A is incorrect. "All the" is a phrase made of a determiner (all) and an article (the), hence it's not a phrasal verb and option C is incorrect. "Leftover material" is a phrase made of adjective (leftover) + noun (material), it's not a phrasal verb hence option D is incorrect.

A
listen

B
all day

C
she sings

D
sings like a lark

Solution

A simile is a figure of speech that presents the likeness between two unlikely things and contains the words 'like' or 'as'. For example, as smooth as butter, light like a feather and so on. In the given sentence, "like a lark" compares the person's singing to that of a lark, as larks are known for their melodious singing, hence it's a simile and option D is correct. "Listen" is a verb and does not compare anything. "All day" is a phrase made up of an adjective and a noun, respectively, it's not a simile. "She sings" is a phrase made up of a subject and a verb, respectively. These three options are not similes and hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
