Question

choose which figure of speech appears in this sentence: the new pillows were like fluffy white marshmallows. exaggeration metaphor simile personification

Explanation:

A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two distinct things using the words "like" or "as". The given sentence uses "like" to compare pillows to marshmallows, which fits the definition of a simile. Exaggeration is overstatement, a metaphor makes a direct comparison without "like"/"as", and personification gives human traits to non-humans, none of which apply here.

Answer:
