The type of figurative language that makes a comparison in the given sentences is a simile.
Are you sure
Yes, I am sure that the type of figurative language used in the sentences is a simile. A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two unlike things, usually using the words "like" or "as." In the sentence "He is as smelly as a garbage truck," the use of "as" compares the smell of the dog to the smell of a garbage truck.
