Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen (adapted excerpt)

Edward Ferrars did not earn the Dashwoods' good opinion through any personal graces. He was not handsome, and his manners were pleasing only to those who knew him. He was too shy to do justice to himself; but when this was overcome, his behavior gave every indication of an open, affectionate heart. His understanding was good, and his education had improved it. But neither his abilities nor nature made him fit to answer the wishes of his mother and sister. They longed to see him distinguished—as—they hardly knew what. They wanted him to make a fine figure in the world in some manner or other.

Which line in this excerpt from the great gatsby by f. scott fitzgerald contains a simile? about half way between west egg and new york the motor-road hastily joins the railroad and runs beside it for a quarter of a mile, so as to shrink away from a certain desolate area of land. this is a valley of ashes—a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke and finally, with a transcendent effort, of men who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air. occasionally a line of grey cars crawls along an invisible track, gives out a ghastly creak and comes to rest, and immediately the ash-grey men swarm up with leaden spades and stir up an impenetrable cloud which screens their obscure operations from your sight.
