Neither, a metaphor would be like "I'm so hungry that I could probably eat an elephant," while a simile would have 'like' or 'as' to describe something.

The correct answer is neither. The sentence "We shall step upon white down" is neither a simile nor a metaphor.

Similes and metaphors are figures of speech mainly used in literature to provide a special effect to a piece of writing. Both similes and metaphors are based on comparisons; however, there are differences between them. A simile compares things using the words "like" or "as". An example of a simile is: "She was as white as snow". On the other hand, a metaphor states a comparison in a direct way using the verb "be". "Her eyes are a poem" is an example of metaphor. In that way, the sentence "We shall step upon white down" does not establish a simile nor a metaphor because it does not include a comparison between two things.

Explanation:

A house on Third Street, College Road, was robbed by three men late last evening. A neighbor noticed some suspicious movement and raised an alarm. Soon the police reached there and arrested two of them. However, It was not easy to catch the third one, as he had fled. The police guarded every possible route, yet he disappeared with the money. I have to find him before he _robbed_ anyone else.
