What is the figurative language in this quote?: "Mr. Shine looked like he'd swallowed a bad clam. 'What?' he croaked. 'Where in the world did you get that idea?'"
A metaphor
B simile
C alliteration
D personification
The answer is B (simile) because it used the word like and similes use like or as while comparing two things. While metaphors create implicit comparisons.
Easy explanation: Basically the only difference is similes use like or as metaphors don’t to sum it up.
