Answer 2

The figure of speech used in the given sentence is Simile.  

EXPLANATION:  

A simile is a figure of speech that compares a noun or a pronoun to another noun. The comparison is explicit in nature. The comparison is made directly. Usually the words 'as', 'like' are used to make the comparisons in a simile.  

For example: She is as bright as a star, she sings beautifully like a nightingale, as fresh as a morning dew, as cheap as dust etc. In the given sentence the comparison of the pronoun 'it' is made with a trumpet. The trumpet is an instrument that creates a huge sound stirring all around with its noise. Thus it is used as the simile.
