Answer 1

D. A simile uses words such as "like" and "as," and a metaphor

describes one thing as being something else.

Step-by-step explanation:
In a simile, you use the words "like" or "as" while making a comparison between two things.
Example: The sea is as cold as ice!

However, a metaphor attributes you to a certain quality, and describes you with that quality.
Example: Your nephew is a machine!
