Choose the figure of speech in the given line:
"Like pearls, and now a silver blade."

The figure of speech is a word that notates a non-literal meaning for the sentence. The most commonly used figures of speech are Metaphor, Simile, Alliteration, Oxymoron Personification, and so on. They contribute to the sentence's rhetorical effect.
In the above-given sentence, something is compared with the ‘Pearls.’ The use of like in the statement shows the use of simile. The simile is a figure of speech that compares one thing to another by using like or as. Therefore, this option gives us the right answer.
An oxymoron in option B is wrong because we use it to show contrasting terms simultaneously. Example: irregular pattern.
Personification is a figure of speech in which non-living and abstract things are given human characteristics. Example: the howling wind. Therefore, option C could not be the right answer.
Option D is also incorrect as hyperbole is used in a sentence to exaggerate statements or claims to create an added effect. Example: I have asked you to do it over a thousand times!
