The correct answer is the following: <em>option B. A simile is a direct comparison and a type of figurative poetic device.</em> A simile is a type of figure of speech generally used in poetry to make a comparison to show similarities between two different things. It is a direct comparison instead of an indirect one because it uses words such as "like" or "as" to make the resemblance between the two things that are being compared to each other. Poets use similes as a tool to convey their sentiments and thoughts in a vivid way.
