Question

"his room was a pigsty." what type of figurative language is this?

A.simile

B.metaphor

C.idiom

D.hyperbole​

Answer 1

B. metaphor

Step-by-step explanation:

A metaphor is a comparison of two different things, without "like" or "as."

The bedroom is not literally a pigsty (a pen or enclosure for pigs), but the metaphor is used to stress how untidy or dirty it is.

Answer 2

B metaphore

Step-by-step explanation:

This simile compares Sam's home to a pigsty (where pigs live) WITHOUT USING "LIKE" OR "AS", meaning it is a metaphore. It means that Sam's home is very messy. He probably does not clean often and leaves dirty clothes on the floor. A metaphor is not always as easy to understand and can sometimes be understood in different ways by different people or in different situations.
