But everything else was motionless, dry as a biscuit, on the brink of burning, hoarding final reservoirs of sap, trying to hold out till the rain returned...

What type of figurative language is found in the above passage?

Answer:

It looks like a simile is used, "dry as a biscuit,". It's comparing how dry something is to how dry a biscuit is.

I'm not sure about the rest, because I don't have context clues, but it looks like that's the only figurative language.
