The mighty Himalayas are like a wall...............

The correct answer is Option (1) → Simile

The Himalayas are set beside a wall with the word "like". The range stands tall and unbroken along the north, as a wall guards a house, and the comparison is stated openly.

Option	What it is	Example
(1) Simile (answer)	A simile openly compares two unlike things, using "like" or "as". The two things stay separate: one is said to be like the other, not to be the other.	Her smile was as bright as the sun.
(2) Metaphor	A metaphor compares two things without "like" or "as", by saying one thing is the other. "The Himalayas are a wall" would be a metaphor. "Are like a wall" is not.	Time is a thief that steals our youth.
(3) Paradox	a statement that seems to contradict itself but holds a truth. There is no such contradiction in the sentence.	The more you learn, the less you know.
(4) Personification	Personification gives human qualities or actions to a non-human thing. The Himalayas are not shown thinking, speaking or acting like a person here.	The wind whispered through the trees.
