The figure of speech used in the above sentence "He could see the sledge of his pursuers rising and falling over the ice hummocks like a boat in a seaway" is Simile.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The Simile is a figurative speech that compares one thing with another different kind of a thing.
  • The Simile is used to make a more vivid description.
  • The words "like" or "as" used in a sentence automatically fall under this figure of speech.
  • Metaphor has certain resemblance to Simile.
  • This figurative language is an easy comparison between two components or things.
