The figure of speech would be a metaphor because it is equating missiles of doom and speeding cars, but not using the words "like" or "as", so therefore it could not be a simile only a metaphor.

Alik [6]

Answer:

<h2>Here are some simple examples:</h2>
  • That

The dog that stole the pie is back.

(The relative pronoun is bold. The adjective clause is highlighted.)

  • Which

My new dog, which I bought last year, loves green beans.

  • Who

The person who bought his car found a 3-carat diamond under the seat.

  • Whom

Our lawyer, whom we employed for over a year, was related to the complainant.

  • Whose

The young girl whose cat scratched our sofa has offered to replace the cushions.

<h2>The Function of Relative Pronouns</h2><h3>The function of a relative pronoun is to head (or introduce) an adjective clause. An adjective clause follows a noun:</h3>

(1) To identify it.

For example:

The man who won the lottery is outside.

(The adjective clause (highlighted) identifies the man.)

(2) To tell us something interesting about it.

For example:

Inspector Smith, who won the lottery, is outside.

(The adjective clause (highlighted) tells us something interesting about Inspector Smith.)

<h2>More Examples of Relative Pronouns</h2><h3>In each of these examples, the relative pronoun is bold and the adjective clause is highlighted.</h3>
  • The girl who stole your phone is outside. (The relative pronoun "who" heads an adjective clause that identifies "the girl.")
  • I rode the bike that Jack gave me back home (The relative pronoun "that" heads an adjective clause that identifies "the bike.")
  • Mrs Miggins, who owns a pie shop, is outside. (The relative pronoun "who" heads an adjective clause that tells us something interesting about "Mrs Miggins.")
  • I rode my bike, which now had a dozen bent spokes, back home. (The relative pronoun "which" heads an adjective clause that tells us something interesting about "my bike.")
