The answer is "Metaphor."

I selected "Metaphor."

• Figurative Language

According to SparkNotes, a metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in a way that isn’t literally true, but helps explain an idea or make a comparison. It states that one thing is another thing, helping to highlight the similarities between the two.

An example of a metaphor is: "Time is a thief." This metaphor suggests that time steals moments from our lives, much like a thief would steal valuables, emphasizing the fleeting nature of time.
