Answer:
couch potato is a metaphor, since it compares without using like or as.
I would say this would classify as a downward comparison as the person is talking about Mark who has a poorer job situation than him and this could be used to bolster the speaker's ego or to knock poor Mark or could just be an observation.
Your answer is Direct address...this is why...
<span>direct address is the name of the person (normally) who is being directly spoken to. It is always a proper noun.
A participle phrase </span><span>is a verbal ending in -ing (present) or -ed, -en, -d,
-t, -n, or -ne (past) that functions as an adjective, modifying a noun
or pronoun. A participial phrase consists of a participle plus modifier(s), object(s), and/or complement(s).
</span>
Prepositional phrase a modifying phrase consisting of a preposition and its object.
Indirect address is <span>a address that serves as a reference point instead of the address to the direct location</span>
