Answer 1

The sentence features figurative language in the form of a simile.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can already see that things are being compared, so you can eliminate the last two options. Now you have to choose between whether it is a simile or a metaphor. The way to define these two is that a simile compares two different things and uses like or as, while a metaphor also compares two different things but does not use like or as.

Hope this helped! :D

Answer 2

this is because a sentence with 'as' or 'like' are known as a simile
