Answer:
<em>The city of Cape Town said in a separate statement that the full extent of the damage would be assessed once the fire is brought under control. It also added that the cause of the blaze was being investigated and one person suspected of starting it had been taken into police custody.</em>

<em>The city of Cape Town said in a separate statement that the full extent of the damage would be assessed once the fire is brought under control. It also added that the cause of the blaze was being investigated and one person suspected of starting it had been taken into police custody.</em>

I believe the sentence is an example of simile.
Explanation:
A simile is a literary device which compares two different things. The purpose is to attribute the qualities of one to the other. In that sense, simile and metaphor are the same thing. What distinguishes them is that <u>a simile will use the words "as" or "like" to establish the comparison</u>, while the metaphor will not. For example, "your eyes are like stars" is a simile. On the other hand, "your eyes are stars" is a metaphor.
Thus, we can easily find the simile in the sentence we are analyzing here when the author says "he stood like a rock." He is comparing a person to a rock, probably with the purpose of saying that person stood there, unmoving - the same way a rock does not move.
