Detailed Solution

●        In English, figures of speech such as simile, metaphor, personification, the apostrophe, and others are employed to express meanings other than that of literal words.
●        Here, the simile rhetorical device is employed. Similes compare two items side by side. By emphasising the similarities between two items using terms like "like," "as," or "then," similes differ from metaphors. Metaphors, however, imply a comparison.
●        Examples of similes include: She is as large as an elephant and as innocent as an angel.
●        Similes are literary devices used to enhance the strength, vividness, or interest of writing. In casual speech, they can be used to more swiftly and effectively express the meaning of the sentence or the section of the statement. Similes are used frequently in phrases and idioms.
