Answer:
1) A Simile, or Similea (/ˈsɪməli/) is a figure of speech that directly compares two things! Similes differ from metaphors by highlighting the similarities between two things using words such as "like" or "as", while metaphors create an implicit comparison (i.e. saying something "is" something else).
2) under
3) to the quality of the greatest kings.
