Answer: Could be simile, metaphor, and personification

Explanation:

"her hair was like the wool of a mountain sheep,"

The author is describing the view of the protagonist on the girl's hair saying it is like the wool of a sheep. The author uses the word "like" to show that author is comparing two things to each other.

"Her eyes, a pair of brown-black beans floating in milk."

The author is describing the view of the protagonist on the girl's eye saying it is like a pair of brown-black beans floating in milk. The author didn't use the word "like" while comparing the two objects, showing metaphor.

"the downy grass and peeping weeds."

The grass and weeds are given the characteristic of a human to show a deeper level of explanation.

What's the root word of visibility
Vesna [10]
The root word is visible. This means that it can be seen or is able to be seen. Visibility is the state of being able to see or be seen. For example, "a reduction in police presence and visibility on the streets." It can also mean the distance one can see as determined by light and weather conditions. For example, "visibility was down to 15 yards". Lastly, it can also mean the degree to which something has attracted general attention. Using this definition, it is synonymous to the word prominence..
