Answers
Answer:
Its simile.
Explanation:
Comparison is done in the sentence.
↬Simile
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Simile compares two words of a speech by using the word like or as.
Example:- He is wise as an owl
Simile is different from metaphor. In metaphor there is comparison without using like or as.
Example:- The falling snowflakes are dancers
Hyperboles are not comparisons, like similes and metaphors, but extravagant and even ridiculous overstatements, not meant to be taken literally
Example:- This bag is the most heaviest stuff in the world!
Personification is a type of metaphor and a common literary tool. It is when you assign the qualities of a person to something that isn't human or that isn't even alive, such as nature or household items.
Example:- The car was suffering and was in need of some petrol.
