Answer:

Simile and Imagery

Step-by-step explanation:

Similes compare two different things. To be a simile, something has to be like or as something else. For example:

She swam like a fish, or he ran as fast as a racehorse. Or in this case,

"The moonless night was dark as black velvet".

Imagery paints a picture in the readers mind, using detailed words to help them picture it.

Happy Holidays!
