Answer 2

Answer: The correct figure of speech for the given sentence "He is as ferocious as a lion."  is Simile.

Explanation:

• A simile is a rhetorical device that compares and contrasts two objects. Similes set themselves apart from other metaphors by highlighting the similarities between two things and utilising comparison words like "like," "as," "so," or "than" (i.e. saying something "is" something else).
• This distinction is made evident by the words' etymologies: metaphor is derived from the Greek word metapherein, whereas simile is derived from the Latin word similis ("like, like") ("to transfer").
• Similar to metaphors, the tenor, or the thing being compared, is known in this particular figure of speech, and the thing being compared to as we use in the sentence is known as the vehicle.
• The person Frank J. Wilstach, a writer and lexicographer, created a dictionary of similes in 1916. A second edition followed in 1924.
