Answer:

<em><u>like tears on a child's dirty face</u></em>

Explanation:

Figurative language is a language that uses words that deviate from their literal meaning to represent something else and give readers new insights. To achieve this, figurative language relies on figures of speech, such as similes, personification, hyperbole, etc.

The phrase "like tears on a child's dirty face" uses figurative language because its meaning should not be taken literally, and it is also a simile because it compares the way the rain slid down the windshield to the way the tears on a child's dirty face fall, while using the word "like."
