Explanation:

Without access to the original poem, Starfish by Lorna Dee Cervantes,

it would be impossible to select the correct answer.

A simile creates poetic imagery by comparing things that are mostly different by highlighting something that is similar. Similes are like metaphors, but the simile will use like or as to express the comparison.
