A metaphor is a figure that describes an object or action in a way that is not literally true, but helps to create an idea of something or make a comparison. A simile is used when a comparison is to be made, where a particular object or action is compared with something with the word "like" or "as", which in the case of a metaphor is not used.

"He is as fast as lightning" is an example of a simile, while "he is a lightning" is an example of a metaphor.

The answer is: c.

“Night climbed the horizon like a cat on the prowl; Its breath was the wind that began to howl, The piercing stars were its rave

Answer:

Well the definition of personification is

the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form.

I think the answer is D.

because the night is being given human qualities making it seem like a character by saying it's like a cat, I can see that the wind is being portrayed as the breath and the stars are being portrayed as the "ravenous eyes"
