Answer 1

2,4,5

Step-by-step explanation:

A simile compares 2 things using like or as. Examples such as "stood out like a sore thumb" compare something (Sanjay) with something completely unlike the first (a sore thumb) connecting the two with like or as. Use this when looking for a simile in the future.
