METAPHOR:

"The sky was murky and deep like quicksand"

Answer 1

A simile makes a comparison by using a word such as "like": "Life is like a circus."

A metaphor is a similar comparison, except that it omits the word "like": "The world is a stage".

...so you answer is NO

Answer 2

Any time you use "like" or "as", it's a simile.  You would have to use the sentence without the word "like" to make it a metaphor.  

Answer 3

No, it is a simile, since it uses the word like in it.

Answer 4

Yes, it is a metaphor -" A figure of speech in which a word or phrase that is that designates one thing is applied to another"

A simile has the word "as" or "like" in the sentence.

Answer 5

Nope, it's a simile.

I'm smart as a whip =/

Answer 6

  The first is a simile ("like" quicksand).  The second is a metaphor.  The writer is referring to the girl's goals and hurtles as her "mountain to climb."  It is, in essence, comparing her difficult goals as "mountains to climb."  A comparison like this is a metaphor.
