It is an epic simile. This is because the comparisons are "long and involved". The main difference between an epic simile (also known as Homeric simile) and an ordinary simile is than an epic simile is very detailed and can span over many lines. Where as a normal simile usually is contained within one or two lines.
Example of epic simile:
But swift Aias the son of Oïleus would not at all now take his stand apart from Telamonian Aias,
not even a little; but as two wine-coloured oxen straining
with even force drag the compacted plough through the fallow land,
and for both of them at the base of the horns the dense sweat gushes;
only the width of the polished yoke keeps a space between them
as they toil down the furrow till the share cuts the edge of the ploughland;
so these took their stand in battle, close to each other.
Normal simile:
As white as a ghost

I'm assuming that this is out of a passage. I can't answer the question without the passage.
Change an important detail as well as the small details. For example Cinderella. Her name was Ella when she was born both her parents died. she was sent to a cook in the castle who bought her as a slave. There the prince fell in love with her. But she couldn't go to the ball cause she had to serve the prince..... and you can probably change it add more details and finish it but this is an idea.
Answer:
Dragging shows that the movement of the turtle is awkward and difficult
Explanation:
