A simile is a saying that compares one thing to another by using the words "like" or "as." For example, you could say "that person is as strong as an ox with muscles like solid steel" and you can get a picture of someone that's strong in your mind. Both of those compare two specific things so they're similes.

A metaphor is a saying that compares one thing to another but what makes it different is that a metaphor does not include the words "like" or "as.

Answer:

Rhetorical listening offers the 'stance of openness to subsume different perspectives.'

Explanation:

The key difference between the regular and rhetorical listening is that the latter gives us enough broadness to pay attention to opposing views as well. It helps us in moving ahead of our various cultural or other identity-associated barriers and view different frameworks or perspectives. Rhetorical listening takes us to a more ethical and logical while believing in anyone's thoughts or opinions during an argument. Rhetorical listening promotes comprehension and collective knowledge.
