Answer

Brief Explanations:

A simile is a figurative language device that makes a comparison between two different things using the words "like" or "as". In the given excerpt, the phrase "like a snake gliding swiftly over them" clearly uses "like" to compare the way the horror twisted across the man's features to a snake gliding. A hyperbole is an exaggerated statement not meant to be taken literally (e.g., "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse"). A metaphor makes a direct comparison without "like" or "as" (e.g., "Time is a thief"). Onomatopoeia is a word that imitates the sound it represents (e.g., "buzz", "hiss").

d. Simile
