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>
