Solution

failed
failed
Answer

The answer is Simile, metaphor

Explanation
Option 1: Metaphor, simile

This option is incorrect because the sentence first uses a simile and then a metaphor. A simile is a comparison using "like" or "as," and a metaphor is a direct comparison without using "like" or "as."

Option 2: Simile, metaphor

This option is correct. The sentence first uses a simile: "His voice sounds like a cement mixer," which compares his voice to a cement mixer using "like." Then, it uses a metaphor: "it was pure gold to the radio producer," which directly compares his voice to gold without using "like" or "as."

Option 3: Simile, alliteration

This option is incorrect because the second part of the sentence is a metaphor, not alliteration. Alliteration is the repetition of the same initial consonant sounds in a sequence of words.

Option 4: Metaphor, alliteration

This option is incorrect because the sentence does not contain alliteration, and the first part is a simile, not a metaphor.
