Answer:

Metaphor

Explanation:

A metaphor is a figure of speech that compares two things by saying the first thing is the second thing. Greta is obviously not actually a fish but she swims like one so the author used a metaphor.

WHY THE OTHER ANSWERS DO NOT WORK:

A pun is a joke exploiting the different possible meanings of a word. There is no joke being made here so the sentence is not a pun.

Personification is a form of metaphor in that human characteristics are attributed to nonhuman things. Greta is a human so this sentence is not an example of personification.

A simile is a figure of speech that compares two things using the terms "like" or "as". Neither of those phrases were used, so this sentence is not a simile.

The only option left is metaphor. :)

What tone does this passage convey?
Harlamova29_29 [7]
Humorous because he states that his cat would be more persuasive than the most of the marketing team. It could also be satirical because the use of irony, but satirical usually has a purpose to address a problem in society so I would go with Humorous
