Answer 1

The two sentences that give examples of similes are:

1. When Andre picked up the calculus textbook, it felt like a 600-page slab of concrete.
2. After the rain, the beach was as hot and humid as the inside of a pressure cooker.

Both sentences make comparisons using "like" and "as," which are characteristic of similes.
