Identify the type of figurative language used in this excerpt.
"The boys came buzzing around like bees around a jam pot."
irony
alliteration
simile
metaphor
the bolded answer is the correct one.
explanation:
the word simile means comparing two things us either of the words "like" or "as"
that being said, the two things being compared in here are the boys and bees around a jam pot. they used the word "like" to compare the two, making it a simile.
its not a metaphor because a metaphor compares two things without using like or as. if it was a metaphor, it would be worded "the boys were bees buzzing around a jam pot"
its not alliteration because alliteration is a repetitive first letter like "peter piper pecked a pack of pickled peppers" or "betty bought butter but the butter was bitter so she bought better butter to make the bitter butter better but the bitter butter made the better butter bitter"
its also not irony because irony, in its broadest sense, is a rhetorical device, literary technique, or event in which what on the surface appears to be the case or to be expected differs radically from what is actually the case. Irony can be categorized into different types, including verbal irony, dramatic irony, and situational irony.
therefore, the answer is simile
