Answer: "Her lips were as red as roses in the spring"

Step-by-step explanation:

The figurative language used in the last sentence is a simile

A simile is a comparison between two things that aren't alike--a simile MUST have the words "like" or "as", and this sentence uses the word "as" to compare her lips and roses.
