Answer:

The easiest stylistic device to identify is a simile, signaled by the use of the words "like" or "as". A simile is a comparison used to attract the reader's attention and describe something in descriptive terms. Example: The beast had eyes as big as baseballs and teeth as long as knives.

Explanation:

Stylistic devices refer to any of a variety of techniques to give an additional and/or supplemental meaning, idea, or feeling. Also known as figures of speech or rhetorical devices, the goal of these techniques is to create imagery, emphasis, or clarity within a text in hopes of engaging the reader.

Examples are metaphor, simile, or personification. Stylistic devices often provide emphasis, freshness of expression, or clarity.
