• C. <!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> <!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Christina's outfit looks exactly like a doll's.

Answer 1

The correct option is A <!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Jaya was the glue that held our group together.

<!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Here, Jaya is indirectly compared to glue to mean that she was responsible for keeping the group together just like how glue keeps two separate pieces together. Hence, it is a metaphor. On the other hand, 'like a bolt from the blue' is a simile as it uses the comparison word 'like'.
