"I will do so, I promise you," answered Sancho, "and will keep this precept as carefully as Sunday."

What type of figurative language is exemplified in the above passage?
metaphor
simile
symbolism
personification

Respuesta :

This is an example of a simile.

The correct answer is option B, Simile

Simile is a figure of speech in which comparision is established between two different things. It is different than metaphor because unlike metaphor it does not draw resemblance by using words “like”, “as” etc. It is a direct comparision. Some example of Simile are as follows :  

a) Radha is as fast as a tigress

b) Sia is as funny as a joker

Here in this question, Secret is compared with Sunday .
