The figure of speech used in the expression "Chandu's uniform fits him like a glove" is: OPTION 2 Simile
Here's why:
- Simile: A simile directly compares two unlike things using "like" or "as." In this case, the expression uses "like" to compare the way Chandu's uniform fits him to the way a glove fits a hand. This emphasizes the close and comfortable fit of the uniform.
- Metaphor: This directly compares two things without using "like" or "as." The expression doesn't claim the uniform literally becomes a glove, so it's not a metaphor.
- Personification: This gives human qualities to non-human things. The expression doesn't attribute any human characteristics to the uniform or glove, so it's not personification.
- Oxymoron: This combines two contradictory terms. The expression "fits like a glove" doesn't involve contradictory terms, so it's not an oxymoron.
Therefore, the figure of speech that directly compares the fit of the uniform to a glove using "like" is a simile. |
