Answer 2

Answer:

The sentence "He stood tall like a mountain" is an example of a) Simile.

Explanation:

• A simile is a figure of speech which compares two unrelated words/subjects using words such as "as" and "like".
• Example- As cool as a cucumber, As busy as a bee etc.
• A metaphor is similar to a simile, but doesn't use words such as "as" and "like". Example- A fiery dream.
• Personification is the treatment of a non-living object as a living person. Example- The night showed its sharp teeth.
• Alliteration is repetition of similar sounds to bring a dramatic effect . Example- A large lake lying lonely in the lowland.

Thus, the correct answer is a) Simile.
