Answer 2

In the sentence, the figure of speech used is "Hyperbola".

Explanation:

• A 'simile' is 'a figure of speech in which one thing is compared to another type of thing, used to make the description more powerful or vivid'. We usually use the words 'like' and 'as' in similes to make comparisons.
• The word 'like a pearl' in the given sentence is a simile, as it contains the word 'like'. Something is being compared to 'pearl', but that thing is not mentioned here. (Perhaps it is mentioned in the previous line of the poem.)
• An oxymoron is a figure of speech that uses contradictory words together, to form a contradiction. For example, 'perfectly incomplete'.
• Personification is a figure of speech where inanimate objects are brought to lie. They are given human qualities as if they were alive: 'trees weep at every blow and cut'.
• 'Hyperbole' is an exaggerated statement or claim that should not be taken literally: 'he tore his hair in despair'.
