Answer 3

I apologize for the incorrect response. The correct answer is metaphor. A metaphor is a figure of speech that directly compares two things without using "like" or "as." In the given sentences, the speaker is comparing the dog's smell directly to that of a garbage truck without using "like" or "as."
