Answer

Brief Explanations:

The passage uses "like" to compare "she" (a person) to a "goddess of Victory". This fits the definition of a simile which is a comparison of two things using "like" or "as". Personification is about non - human things getting human characteristics (not the case here as both are somewhat human - like in a sense, one is a real person and the other is a goddess). Alliteration is about repetition of initial consonant sounds (not present in the key comparison part of the sentence).

Answer:

simile - a comparison of two things using "like" or "as"
