Avg score: 57% • Most missed: “Can you find the two things that are being compared (similes)?”

Similes are used when someone wants to create a more clear understanding of one thing but uses a different thing to try and give a clearer image of what they want to convey.  In the sentence, “The city is like a jungle,” the person is trying to describe how busy and congested a city is.  The image of a “jungle” conveys this image much more clearly.
