Question

What figure of speech is illustrated in this sentence? "She's like a strong tower." metaphor personification simile

Answer 1

The phrase seems like it could be any of the answers. but it is a simile because it uses "like" for a comparison. (i just answered this on a test and it was correct)

Answer 2

"She's like a strong tower" is an example of a simile because it uses the word like (as would also work)

If it were a metaphor it would state that "She's a tower" even though she isn't really it just helps to strengthen the image it creates

Personification is when an inanimate object is described with human qualities
