Read the excerpt below from the poem “I Knew a Woman” by Theodore Roethke and answer the question that follows.Let seed be grass, and grass turn into hay:
I’m martyr to a motion not my own;
What’s freedom for? To know eternity.
I swear she cast a shadow white as stone.
But who would count eternity in days?
These old bones live to learn her wanton ways:
(I measure time by how a body sways).

Which excerpt is a simile that indicates a thoughtful mood?

“Let seed be grass, and grass turn into hay:”
“(I measure time by how a body sways).”
“These old bones live to learn her wanton ways:”
“I swear she cast a shadow white as stone.”

Answers

I think the answer is the last line which is "I swear she cast a shadow as white as stone.". When you say simile, you are comparing two different things. It can be easily seen with the use of preposition like "as" and "like". In this excerpt, you are comparing the white shadow and stone, which are two different things. You can also see the preposition "as" in between the two objects.

Answer:" I swear she cast a shadow as white as stone"
