Answer:

The author's use of the phrase, "brightly expressive as the twins of Leda," demonstrates the use of simile.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simile is a figure of speech used by authors to make comparisons. Unlike metaphors, similes are direct comparisons, since they contain the words "as"or "like" to make the comparison.
