Question

A figure of speech that compares two things without using the words "like" or "as" A. Hyperbole B. Metaphor C. Simile D. Alliteration

Answer 1

Answer:

B). Metaphor.

Explanation:

Metaphor is exemplified as the figure of speech that implies the employment of a word or phrase that directly compares two distinct or unlikely things that have some kind of similarity or having some common attributes without the use of words 'like' or 'as'.

This device compares two divergent subjects on the grounds of a sole commonality in order to create an impact on the readers through such strengthening and revitalizing comparisons that proposes a specific effect on the content. For example: 'She was the moon', 'He was a lion roaring in the field', in these examples 'he' and 'she' are directly compared to 'moon' and 'lion' without using 'like' or 'as'. Thus, option B is the correct answer.

Answer 2

The correct answer would be metaphor because a metaphor compares two things without using like or as while doing so. A simile dose use "like" or "as" when comparing.
