The idea
A cliché is a phrase worn smooth by repetition. Both of the quoted phrases are exactly that, and neither one compares two things, refers outward to another text, or softens anything. Elimination on the definitions leaves clichés, which is the board's answer.
In practice
Eliminate on the definitions.
Where people slip
Neither phrase compares anything.
