Which of the following sentences contains figurative language? His face was as red as an apple. I like apples more than oranges. Her hair was red; apples are red too. Oranges were his favorite fruit.

The answer to your question would be that the sentence that contains figurative language is the following one: His face was as red as an apple.

The literary device used here is the simile. A simile is a figure of speech that makes a comparison, showing similiarities between two different things. In this case, his face is compared to an apple because of its red colour.
