Answer:

She floated around the room so easily she

could be Phileas Fogg - Allusion

She floated around the room like a balloon - Simile

She floated around the room, moving in no

specific direction - Metaphor.

Explanation:

A similar is used when comparing something to another. A sentence bearing a simile is identified by the presence of "like" or "as"

This is shown in the answer above where a lady's movement was compared to a balloon floating.

A metaphor is also used in comparison but this time directly. The quality given to the subject may not necessarily be true.

In the example above, the lady was described as floating "floated around the room..." Also notice that people do not necessarily float but in this case her movement was directly described as floating.

Allusion is used to make reference to objects, persons, places or even events.

In the example above, the ladies movement was not only described as floating but Phileas Fogg was used in reference to it.

<h3>I hope this helps...</h3><h3>Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. A key component of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain. Increasingly, it is being used for overall wellness, including stress management. </h3><h3> Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force — known as chi or qi (chee) — believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture practitioners believe that your energy flow will re-balance. </h3><h3> In contrast, many Western practitioners view the acupuncture points as places to stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissue. Some believe that this stimulation boosts your body's natural painkillers.</h3>
