So would the answer be:
The drivers were compared to Indian riders of elephants called Mahouts. The concrete mixers were compared to elephants. The comparisons are alike because the driver and concrete mixer was compared to elephants and the Indian people who used to ride the elephants.

In the poem, “Concrete Mixers” the ginormous machines are compared to urban elephants. They get cleaned by their drivers like elephant tenders they get hosed down. When they are not used they stand in rows, like rows of elephants, tail to trunk. Their drivers are compared to mahouts because they perch on the backs of the concrete mixers. Concrete mixers are very similar to elephants. They move like elephants, bellow like elephants, and spray like elephants.

None of these answers actually demonstrate that you can write an essay (intro, body, and conclusion) or identify figurative language (examples given but no mention of type of figurative language) in the poem. All they show is that you can compare the mixers to the elephants. In other words, there is no way you can get full credit for these answers. Sorry
