Which literary device is most clearly used in this sentence?

English
1 answer:
Rama09 [41]3 years ago
5 0

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.\

Cheers

Why do greek and latin matter
MakcuM [25]

Greek and Latin matter because it helps us with the pronunciation of words and the origin of words.  When we know about where these words come from, how they are broken down (with suffixes and prefixes), and how each are pronounced, you better understand not only the word, but the meaning and the logic behind the word.  This also aids in reading comprehension.  Greek and Latin is key to understanding vocabulary, and a good vocabulary helps you to understand what you are reading.
