Based on the given statement above, I can say that the type of comparison that is being shown is a SIMILE. A simile is a literary technique that compares two unlike objects with the use of the words "like" or "as...as". Apparently, this uses "as...as" in comparing "they" and "bark of a tree". Hope this helps.

<u>"Besides, they are about as edible as the tough, dry bark in a long dead tree" is an example of which type of comparison</u>?  

- hyperbole

- metaphor

- oxymoron

- simile

<em>The comparison of the author's food to tree bark uses the word "as", making it a </em><em>simile</em><em>. A simile is a type of figurative language that expresses a comparison between two entities/things using comparison words/terms such as "like", "as", "resembles", and "than". Therefore, its meaning is figurative, not literal. The meaning of a simile will always depend upon the context of its use (expresses a figurative meaning that literal words do not).</em>

Daniel [21]

Answer:

The <u>first passage</u> represents nature as something wild and dangerous, by describing the yucca tree with some risky, violent and dangerous words, which are used to warn us about this plant and its characteristics.

On the other hand, the <u>second passage</u> represents nature as something soft, calm, and beautiful, by describing daffodils. Daffodils are represented as something delicate and beautiful, so the vision of nature is quite different from the first passage. In this case, nature is described as something soft and wonderful, completely different from <em>bayonet-pointed leaves</em> and a <em>fence of daggers</em>.

Answer:

There is no rhyme scheme and the lines are of unequal length.

Explanation:

This is because free verse is a verse of lines of irregular length, rhyming (if at all) very irregularly. Note: nowadays some poets and critics reject the term 'free verse' and prefer to speak of 'open form' poetry or 'mixed form' poetry.
