Question

Simile or Metaphor? As I walked home, my shoes tore a hole in them. My shoes were Swiss cheese as I finally walked in my door.

​

Answer 1

Metaphor.

Step-by-step explanation:

A simile would be a comparison including the words "like" or "as." Since the sentence does not include either of these words, it is a metaphor. A metaphor is a direct comparison (without using "like" or "as"); "My shoes were Swiss cheese".
