Official Correct Choice:
Option A: She trembled like a leaf in the wind.
Concept: Figures of Speech (Simile vs. Metaphor).

Solution: Similes explicitly compare two distinct things using comparative words 'like' or 'as' ("like a leaf in the wind").

  • Options B, C, & D: Direct comparisons without 'like' or 'as' (Metaphors).
