Answer:

The sentence is a simile.

Explanation:

Similes are those figures of speech that compares two things of different types in order to make the description more exact or vivid, with the use of the word "like" in it's sentence. On the other hand, metaphors are like similes. They are used in comparison too but the difference in this is that the comparison is not literally applicable.

"Silence will fall like dews"

The above sentence can me identified to be a simile in that it uses the comparison form, comparing silence to that of a dew. Dews don't make any noise or sound when they fall on the ground.

zheka24 [161]

The eerie mood is created initially because of the subject matter of the poem. The character of Death is introduced in the first stanza, and since the 'd' is capitalized, it's clear that Dickinson is personifying death into an actual person. Thinking about Death in this way, as someone who stops to pick you up and having to get into his carriage to take the ride away from life is creepy in itself. This eeriness is supported when she uses the line "The dews grew quivering and chill." The words quivering and chill help to strengthen the eeriness that the subject matter creates. She also refers to the setting sun, which again helps give the poem an overall spooky feeling.
