Question

Find the figure of speech
from the following line, "Now |
can see him getting off the
train like a word dropped from
a long sentence."​

Answer 1

similie

Explanation

A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two things. Similes differ from metaphors by highlighting the similarities between two things using words such as "like", "as", or "than", while metaphors create an implicit comparison.

Answer 2

The figure of speech used in this sentence is a simile.

• A simile is used to compare two things, actions or aspects.
• The word ‘like’ is often used to identify a simile. If the sentence did not contain the word ‘like’ or ‘as____ as’, it would have been a metaphor.
• Here, the comparison is between a person ‘getting off the train’ and ‘a word dropped from a long sentence’.
• It means that the person got off the train as quickly and unnoticeably as a word that might get skipped while uttering a long sentence.

Some examples of similes:

‘Mouth like a fireplace’  and ‘as brave as a tiger in a rage’ from  the poem ‘The Tale of Custard the Dragon’ by Ogden Nash.
