Answer:

Metaphor is the answer.

Explanation:

A metaphor is rhetorical device and also a type of comparison. Contrary to the simile, where the comparison is explicit and stated with words such as <em>like</em> or <em>as</em>, a metaphor compares two things that are not really related. In this case, the train is given the characteristics of a horse when the speaker points out how the train goes downhill chasing something. Due to this, metaphor is the answer.

The category that this falls under is personal skills. Thoroughness and close attention to detail is more of a personal skill that you're sort of born with, whereas how well you can hit a baseball is an acquired skill.

Why do student should be an agent of cleanliness?
FrozenT [24]
Students should be agents of cleanliness since it is everyone's responsibility to clean the surroundings and not depend on any one else to  clean somebody's mess. Students who learn to clean the surroundings grow responsibly and apply this nature to daily lives when they grow old.

How can Winston from 1984 be compared to a new pair of shoes??
77julia77 [94]
Apparently, Winston is a drunkard in 1984. He can be
compared to a rock because there's nothing new under the sun for him. He eats,
drinks, and is merry. Nothing else happens and it's the same routine. However, Winston is surprisingly observant and intellectual. He keeps a diary that has his thoughts composed in them; thoughts that could result in his death. He's like a pair of new shoes because his thoughts are binging the totalitarian state to a new era. He's giving others new freedoms and he is establishing a new rebelution. (I know that's not a word, but you'll understand what it means had you have read the book.)
