Question

Respond to the following in complete sentences: Identify which of the following examples uses figurative language to describe the image. What makes the example you identified figurative language? Which device is used?
The school buses lined up like tanks on the battlefield, strategically parked to protect people.
The bright and shiny yellow school buses were parked strategically to bring the students home.

Answer 1

"The school buses lined up like tanks on the battlefield, strategically parked to protect people."

This sentence uses figurative language. It uses a simile, comparing school buses to tanks using words such as 'like' and 'as'. 

The second sentence uses imagery with the words 'bright' and 'shiny', but this is not what the question is looking for. Hope this helps.
