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."

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".
