Which excerpt from "Fish Cheeks" uses a simile? He was not Chinese, but as white as Mary in the manger. What would Robert think of our shabby Chinese Christmas? Robert grunted hello, and I pretended he was not worthy of existence. Robert and their family waited patiently for platters to be passed to them.

    He was not Chinese, but as white as Mary in the manger.

    A simile is a comparison between using two things using like or as. In the excerpt the narrator is comparing her competitor to Mary to say that he was Caucasian. None of the other options have either as or like, so they cannot be correct.

    A metaphor compares two things without using like or as.
