Read the adapted excerpt from “House Decoration” by Oscar Wilde. Currently, perhaps one of the most difficult things for us to do is choose a notable and joyous dress for men. At present we have lost all nobility of dress and, in doing so, we have almost destroyed the modern sculptor. And, in looking around at the figures which adorn our parks, one could almost wish we had completely killed the noble art. Which sentence correctly paraphrases and cites the excerpt? A. Men today dress notably and joyously, making their clothes so hard to sculpt that it has almost destroyed the modern sculptor whose figures adorn our parks (Wilde). B. Currently, perhaps one of the most difficult things for us to do is employ the modern sculptor, whose noble art we might almost wish we had killed based on the figures which adorn our parks (Wilde). C. At present we have lost all nobility of dress and, in doing so, we have almost destroyed the modern sculptor (Wilde). D. The fact that people don’t make an effort to dress strikingly means that our statues are much less beautiful, and perhaps this means we shouldn’t even make statues anymore (Wilde).

Say it's candy.
To make a simile, use like or as to compare it with something else.
Say,
Candy is as good as cake.
That was lame, but that's basically what a simile is.
