In Much Ado About Nothing , by William Shakespeare , review Benedick's words below from Act II Scene and then answer the following question : What simile does Benedick use to describe an aspect of Beatrice ?

"I can see yet without spectacles and I see no such matter: there's her cousin, an she were not possessed with a fury, exceeds her as much in beauty as the first of May doth the last of December."

Explanation:

Simile refers to the comparison of dissimilar things using 'like' and 'as'.

After Claudio reveals his feelings for Hero to Benedick, Benedick does not see or understand why Claudio is smitten by her and instead believes that Béatrice is a much attractive lady, except for her temper.

Benedick who believes that Beatrice is more attractive than Hero, compares Beatrice's beauty and her temperament by comparing May and December which shows the large difference between her beauty and temper.

The use of 'as' shows the presence of simile.

rivernaysan = anniversary

for some reason there is another anniversary but, that is correct
