I think the correct answer to this question is "metaphor." The statement is a metaphor because it describes the canal as an enterprise of breathtaking boldness. A metaphor is when you liken something to another thing without using the word "like." Thank you for posting your question. I hope that this answer helped you. Let me know if you need more help.
