Answer:

Simile.

Explanation:

Figurative or rhetoric language are the significant tools that help persuade the readers more conveniently. It employs devices that help elevate the words beyond their literal meaning and add essence, depth, and clarity to the written work that assists the readers to visualize the description.

A simile is demonstrated as one of the most common yet significant elements of figurative language that involves an interesting comparison between two distinct ideas or objects with the use of 'like' and 'as.'

In the given excerpt, the author employs 'simile' as it involves a comparison of two entirely distinct objects 'the trees tops were all down and rotted and gone leaving the snags poking into the sky' and the 'broken teeth' by using 'like.' This establishes an interesting comparison that would assist the readers to better understand the idea(by visualizing the given comparison).

Which best describes the diction in "ain't i a woman?"
yanalaym [24]
The essay "Ain't I a Woman" is quite impressive. For me, it says that the writer is fed up of being a slave and being treated as a second class citizen in the society. She had many children and they were all sold off into slavery. As for me, I would have not been able to continue on after having one taken from me.
