The person above me is correct - this quite indeed uses the literary technique known as simile.

The correct answer is option A. direct object. The direct object is a pronoun, noun clause, or noun phrase that indicates a thing or person that is affected by the action of the verb. The direct object can be found by finding the verb and asking what? (or whom?). In this case, <em>what did I give to my best friend?</em> I gave <u>the last slice of pizza</u>, thus this noun phrase functions as direct object of the sentence.
