Answer 2

Metaphor figurative speech

Explanation:

• Metaphor is a figurative rather than literal use of language that is artistically or rhetorically ambitious.
• It has piqued more philosophical curiosity and sparked more philosophical debate than any of the other well-known figures of speech.
• When we use metaphor, we are able to talk about two things at the same time; two separate and disparate topic subjects are mixed together to create a rich and surprising result.
• When a speaker uses metaphor in the first place, one of these topics is already being discussed or at the very least being considered.
• Metaphor is just one of numerous strategies for comparing one thing to another using words, both called and unnamed.
• In what is known as simile, we can use an explicit comparison of one object to another, constructed around like, as, or some other explicit comparative word.
• Nonetheless, some metaphors are explicit in the sense that they use locutions commonly seen in overt literal claims of identification, membership, or inclusion to compare one or more named things or types to one or more other named things or kinds.

Hence, the figure of speech used in the given phrase of words is Metaphor.
