Simile is a figure of speech that uses the words, ‘like’ or ‘as’ when comparing one thing to another. This makes the sentence more intense or definite. For example, she was brave as a lion. So for this question, the answer is “He gave the struggle his attention, as an idler might observe the feat of a juggler, without interest in the outcome.” Since it uses the word ‘as’ and was compared to an idler.
