Which line is a simile?

Explanation:
Simile uses like or as to directly compare two things. The line about Grandma makes a direct comparison by saying she clucked like a hen, linking her fussing to a hen’s clucking. That clear “like” signal shows a simile. The other lines don’t use like or as to compare two things. One uses exaggeration (saying a long time), another shows a metaphor by saying leaves blanket the forest, and another personifies the clock by giving it human action.
