Question

"And he gave her a jackknife, which she thought as great a treasure as if she were a desert islander."What form of figurative language does the phrase "as if she were a desert islander" demonstrate?A.idiomB.metaphorC.simileD.personification

Answer 1

It is Simile

It's not an idiom because an idiom is saying that something is even though it isn't. example- (a white lie) a lie isn't white nor a color.

It's not metaphor because I chose that for my test which was the same question and it was wrong.

It's not personification because it's when it includes something nature or animal like.
