Answer 2

SIMILE is the figure of speech.

EXPLANATION:

There are many figures of speech. Simile and metaphor are a similar type of speech. In this kind of speech, a noun is compared with others. In a simile, a noun is compared with other literally. In Metaphor, a noun is compared but not literally.

Example: the tomb is an underground vault. It is used to bury the dead. Something in the line is compared with a tomb to make it dull. Similarly, The boy runs as fast as deer is a simile figure of speech. In metaphor, the noun is not compared literally. Example: I have told you a million times. This sentence does not mean ‘million times’. It is compared for many times.
