Answer
Brief Explanations:
A simile is a figure of speech that uses "like" or "as" to make a comparison. In the passage, "all the sea was like a cauldron" is the simile. It compares the sea to a cauldron. A cauldron seething over intense fire gives a visual of something turbulent and angry. So, it creates a comparison between the sea and a cauldron and gives a visual representation of the sea's anger.
Answer:
Highlighted simile: all the sea was like a cauldron. Options that apply: a comparison between the sea and a cauldron, a visual representation of the sea's anger.
