Question

Which literary device is most clearly used in this sentence?

Answer 1

Answer:

The literary device used here is Simile.

Explanation:

Sometimes, a figure of speech is used to juxtapose two unrelated things or ideas using the words "like" or "as". When that happens, it can be said that a simile has been created or used.

In the sentence above, we can clearly see "like" used to connect Sailing and Skating.

Other examples of Simile are:

i. As bold as a lion;

ii. Life is like a journey

Similies are related to metaphors in that all similes are metaphors but not all metaphors are similes.

An example of a metaphor is:

His blood was a river gushing down his chest.\
