Which one of the following is not an example of simile?

Correct option is C

The ship of life is not a simile but a metaphor. A simile explicitly compares two unlike things using "like" or "as," while a metaphor directly equates one thing with another, as in this example, where life is compared to a ship.
Information Booster:
1. Similes use "like" or "as" to create vivid comparisons, while metaphors do not.
2. Examples like (a), (b), and (d) use "as" or "like" to compare ideas, qualifying them as similes.
3. Metaphors suggest a deeper symbolic meaning without explicit comparison markers.
4. Recognizing similes and metaphors enriches comprehension of poetic and literary devices.
