Praxis 5025 Practice Question
A third-grade teacher is introducing figurative language. Which of the following sentences best demonstrates a simile?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Option D effectively demonstrates a simile by using "like" to compare the cloud to a cotton ball, highlighting similarities in appearance.
Option A, "It’s raining cats and dogs," is an idiom, not a simile, as it does not make a direct comparison using "like" or "as."
Option B, "Blue butterflies bounced briskly," employs vivid imagery but lacks a comparative element, thus not qualifying as a simile.
Option C, "America is a melting pot," is a metaphor, comparing America to a melting pot without using "like" or "as," which is essential for similes.
