Answer 1

Answer:

A. Simile

The line “I wandered lonely as a cloud” is from the poem I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud by William Wordsworth.

• A simile is a comparison using the words “like” or “as.”

• In this line, the poet compares himself to a cloud using “as.”

• Therefore, it is a simile, not a metaphor or any other figure of speech.
