Question

The baby smiles like a moon. The figure of speech of this statement

Answer 1

Answer:

Metaphor

Explanation:

It is a metaphor as it is obvious that a baby cannot smile "like the moon". A good tip to differentiate between simile and metaphor is that whenever "as" is used in the sentence, the figure of speech is usually a simile, whereas if "like" is used in the sentence (like the sentence given by you), the figure of speech is usually a metaphor.
