Question

they were folded across the fence like they were expecting me, what type of figurative language is this

Answer 1

The phrase "they were folded across the fence like they were expecting me" uses **simile**, which is a type of figurative language that makes a comparison between two different things using the words "like" or "as." In this case, the comparison suggests that the objects (likely items of clothing or similar) were positioned in a way that implies they were waiting for the speaker's arrival. The use of "like" indicates the simile.
