Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Similes and metaphors are used to compare things. Similes is used to compare things or individuals by using words such as "like" or "as". An example of simile is "John is as gentle as a dive".

For metaphors, there's a direct comparison. In such case, "like"make or "as" isn't used. For example, Bob is an angel.
