Choose the sentences which are examples of the figure of speech--Simile:

A. Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale.

B. O my Love's like a red, red rose

D. Revenge is wild juice which destroys people.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

A, B and C only

A, B and D only

A, C, and D only

B, C and D only

✅ Correct Option: 1

A simile makes an explicit comparison using 'as' or 'like'. A uses 'as tedious as', B uses 'like a red, red rose', and C uses 'as the palm tree', so all three are similes. D directly calls revenge 'wild juice', which is a metaphor. Hence A, B and C only.
