Answer 2

The given lines are a simile. (Option A)

• Similes and metaphors are two types of figures of speech which are used to compare two different objects.
• The difference is that similes compare things by saying they are like something else, but metaphors compare things by saying they are different.
• A simile might be as simple as "as busy as a bee", "as blind as a bat.", "as dark as coal", "as courageous as a lion", and "as powerful as an ox".
• Some examples of metaphors will be: Your oyster is the entire globe, His computer was a colossus, The youngster was the much-needed light of sunshine for the household, She is a nocturnal creature, and The sun is in the east, and Juliet is in the west.
• In the given phrase, the resentment is compared to drinking poison rather than being poison.
• Thus, it is a simile. Option A is correct.
