Answer: "Her lips were as red as roses in the spring"
Explanation:
The figurative language used in the last sentence is a <em>simile</em>
A <em>simile</em> is a comparison between two things that aren't alike--a simile <u>MUST</u> have the words "like" or "as", and this sentence uses the word "as" to compare her lips and roses.
In poetry and literature, irony is used as a rhetorical or literary technique to elaborate on what something appears to be on the surface in contrast to what it actually is. In the text, situational irony is used when the traveller speaks of the king's words engraved on the pedestal. Ozymandias, the king, is proud of his amazing works and of all he constructed in his lifetime, believing that would make him mighty for all time. However, nothing remains around the pedestal; the desert's sands have engulfed all of his colossal works. Therefore, it is the contradiction between what is boasted (that is, the amazing constructions) versus what is actually there (a large stretch of sand and decay) that constitutes the irony in the passage.
I believe the quotation you provided should say "best" instead of "test" as there is a famous quotation by Thomas Tusser that reads as follows: "Seek home for rest, for home is best." This quotation could mean many things to many people. One possible meaning/interpretation of this quotation is that people often find comfort at home, and for the optimal rest, the prime place that should be sought is where one dwells or the house within which one grew up.
