by unknown planets They obviously need to hire better pr

00:09

teams you know feeling alright Checking the following passage Hit

00:14

pause on my pony in breathe and i breathe out

00:18

of breathing Gland All right man For a second group

00:39

of sharp corners We done reading Done Alright Which line

00:46

is an example of a meta for all right here

00:49

The potential answers right there return it All right Well

00:55

similes and metaphors we got this should be a z

00:58

Z is three point one four one five to tell

01:00

the difference between the two Remember that a simile is

01:03

a comparison that uses the words light for as while

01:07

a metaphor is a comparison in which something simply is

01:11

something else So for example easiest pie is a simile

01:15

because it uses as if we wanted to turn it

01:18

into a metaphor We'd simply say easy is pie which

01:22

would be a weird thing to say but you get

01:23

points and really what's so easy about pie Anyway we

01:26

tried making one once in our kitchen is never fully

01:29

recovered you know bad zit Okay enough personal sharing let's

01:32

move on B and c are easy eliminations Metaphors compare

01:36

one thing to another right While neither of these options

01:39

do that they'd both just kind of fill us in

01:42

on things that happened Our speaker tells us she's never

01:45

spoken in front of a crowd She's trading familiar looks

01:48

with henry did anyone else get the impression that there

01:51

was something going on between these two thoughts No metaphors

01:54

here let's push on to choice d which is more

01:57

of a contender We do have a comparison in this

02:00

silence is compared to that on the beach however this

02:03

comparison uses the word like which makes it a simile

02:07

No choice eh gets it right here Our speaker gets

02:10

totally metaphorical and says the hats are simply a bumpy

02:13

new horizon of an unknown planet Maybe that planet would

02:18

be more well known if it tried exfoliating once in

02:21

a while Yeah i didn't get those out of there
