Hi There!

Answer - Simile

The reason its a simile is because the fact that simile's have like or as in the sentence and this sentence does.

“The arrow sped down the glade as a sparrowhawk skims in a northern wind”

Hope This Helps :)

The answer is C. Similie because it is comparing one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid. Hope this helped :)
