Question

Which type of figurative language is used in this sentence from George Orwell’s novel Keep the Aspidistra Flying?

Answer 1

Answer:

Metaphor

Explanation:

This sentence is comparing the public to pigs without using words like "as" or "like", which would make it a simile, most likely. In this case, since there's no such use of the mentioned words, this fits into the definition of a metaphor:

"a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable."

Answer 2
