Answer 2

"As bright as the yellow sunshine" is an example of a simile (option 2).

• A simile is a figure of speech used as a direct comparison between two objects. We use phrases like 'as tall as', 'as far as', and 'as yellow as' as words of comparison in a simile.
• A metaphor is also a figure of speech that compares two different things, but the comparison is not direct. It is a way of describing one object by giving an example of something else which is somewhat similar to that object in a particular way. An example is- 'laughter is the best medicine.
• Personification is a way of describing a non-living thing by giving it human characteristics. For example- 'the light danced on the surface of the water'.
• An onomatopoeia is used to describe a particular sound in words. These forms of words are used excessively in comics. For example- 'POW! batman punched the joker in the face'.
