Question

Is "She was in her middle thirties, and faintly stout, but she carried her surplus flesh sensuously as some women can." a simile??

Answer 1

No

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no comparison between the woman and a different object

Answer 2

no simile

Step-by-step explanation:

"As some women can" is an adverbial clause of manner. It is introduced by a subordinating conjunction of manner, as. This clause is modifying the verb "carried" and is answering the question "How?"

"As" can be a comparison word, but in this case, it is a conjunction of manner, and, therefore, the sentence contains no simile.
