Question

The rainstorm swirls like an avalanche is an example of what type of figurative language?

Answer 1

Answer: Simile

Explanation:

A Simile is a figurative language form that compares things together for reference and in doing so uses the words, ''like'' or ''as''. For instance, ''he typed like a mad man'' or ''she looked like a queen''.

In the above, a simile in the form of ''like'' is used to compare the movement of the rainstorm to that of an avalanche.
