Answer 1

The italicized phrase "as sharp as glass" is an example of a simile. A simile is a literary element that makes a comparison between two different things using "like" or "as." In this case, the voice of the opera singer is being compared to the sharpness of glass.

So, the correct answer is: **simile**.
