Read the excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell. Answer the question that follows. "There was no breeze. The sea was as flat as a plate-glass window. We were drawing near the island then. What I felt was a--a mental chill; a sort of sudden dread." Which figurative language device is used in the bolded line? Allusion Metaphor Personification Simile

While you didn't provide a bolded line, I can infer which sentence was originally bolded.

The figurative language device used in the bolded line is "simile." A simile is a figure of speech that compares two unlike things using "like" or "as." In this case, the author compares the flatness of the sea to a "plate-glass window" to convey the smooth and motionless nature of the water.

I hope this helped!
