Explanation:
Simile is easily identified in a sentence because of the presence of "as" and "like" when comparing two things that have some quality in common.
Unlike simile, metaphor does not use "as" or "like" to compare two unlike things. Instead, it states that one thing is something else through a suggested or implied comparison.
