Answer (1)
Let's begin by arranging the story events in the correct order for the story 'Elo the Hero':
Elo just went home after a half day class in school.
While playing, Elo heard cries near the river.
Elo saw a little goat drowning and went to it.
Elo remembered his father's teaching about swimming in the river.
Elo reached the little goat and embraced him while swimming.
Elo emerges from the riverbank.
Elo's kabarangayans look up to him as a little hero.
Now, let's identify whether each sentence is a simile (S) or a metaphor (M):
She runs like a cheetah. - S (simile, because it uses 'like' to compare)
My life is an open book. - M (metaphor, because it says one thing is another)
I'm as hungry as a wolf. - S (simile, because it uses 'as' to compare)
Tessie slept like a log last night. - S (simile, because it uses 'like' to compare)
You are my sunshine. - M (metaphor, because it implies you are something else without using 'like' or 'as')
The world is a stage. - M (metaphor, because it implies something is something else without 'like' or 'as')
The calm lake was a mirror. - M (metaphor, because it describes the lake as something else without 'like' or 'as')
Cora is as gentle as a lamb. - S (simile, because it uses 'as' to compare)
These exercises help in understanding sequence and figurative language, which are important skills in English.
