Explanation:

A figure of speech is a word or phrase that possesses a separate meaning from its literal definition. It can be a metaphor or simile, designed to make a comparison. It can be the repetition of alliteration or the exaggeration of hyperbole to provide a dramatic effect.

Simile is a word or phrase that compares something to something else, using words ‘like’, or ‘as’, for example ‘Her gown was as white as snow.’
