Which statement best demonstrates a simile?

  1. "The bird is as big as a car."

  2. "The storm was fast and furious."

  3. "The water's deep and wide."

  4. "The snowflakes twinkled like stars."

The correct answer is: "The snowflakes twinkled like stars."

A simile is a figure of speech that compares two things using "like" or "as". In the given statement, "The snowflakes twinkled like stars", the use of "like" is comparing the snowflakes to stars. Option A is incorrect because it is a metaphor, not a simile. Option B is incorrect because it is a personification, not a simile. Option C is incorrect because it does not contain a comparison using "like" or "as".
