The answer is a simile because it uses "like"
A personification is making an object or animal act and look like they are human. Example: She heard the last piece of cake calling her name. This is personification because cake doesn't talk like humans can.
An oxymoron is using two words to describe something that mean the opposite. It is kind of like irony.
Example: A fast turtle. This is an oxymoron because turtles are not fast.
A synecdoche is a part used to signify the whole. Example: Check out my new wheels. Wheels is a synecdoche because it is referring to a car.
A simile compares two things using like or as. Example: She is as innocent as an angel. This is a simile because it uses as to compare something.

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Read the excerpt from "The Storyteller." "She did all that she was told, she was always truthful, she kept her clothes clean, ate milk puddings as though they were jam tarts, learned her lessons perfectly, and was polite in her manners." "Was she pretty?" asked the bigger of the small girls. "Not as pretty as any of you," said the bachelor, "but she was horribly good." There was a wave of reaction in favour of the story; the word horrible in connection with goodness was a novelty that commended itself.<u> It seemed to introduce a ring of truth that was absent from the aunt’s tales of infant life</u>. How does the underlined sentence contribute to the theme that culture can limit our thinking? It indicates that the aunt’s portrayal of right and wrong is inauthentic and unconvincing. It shows that children and adults have opposing perspectives on what goodness is. It characterizes the children as eager to accept any viewpoint that disagrees with their aunt’s. It satirizes the bachelor’s conception of goodness by comparing it to the one in the aunt’s story.
Answer:
It indicates that the aunt’s portrayal of right and wrong is inauthentic and unconvincing.
Explanation:
The stories told by the aunt to the children are boring, moralistic and show unrealistic standards of kindness and behavior. This causes children to become disinterested and disaffected. Her stories have no layers and depth, but they present a pattern about what is inauthentic right or wrong and which does not convince. For this reason, children are so interested in the story that the unknown is telling them, because it shows someone real with whom children can feel represented, someone who is terribly good, interesting and profound.
