Answer:

The main difference between a simile and metaphor is that a simile uses the words "like" or "as" to draw a comparison and a metaphor simply states the comparison without using "like" or "as". An example of a simile is: She is as innocent as an angel. An example of a metaphor is: She is an angel.

Answer:

"The old man stumbled like a broken record, his grin a grainy tune"

Explanation:

A Simile, by dictionary definition, is a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing, whereas a Metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable. For example:

"Her heart is like gold"

"Her heart is gold"

Here, the former is a simile, and the latter is a metaphor. In the first one, we are comparing the girl's heart to gold, and in the second, we state that her heart is gold.

Taking the original sentence: "The old man stumbled".

And then my answer sentence: "The old man stumbled like a broken record, his gravely grin a grainy tune".

Here, the words "...stumbled like a broken record" is the token simile. We can see this with the key words "like and as"

The metaphor in the sentence is the way I described his smile. Comparing it to an object or thing that can't literally make sense—the grainy tunes of an old record player.
