The correct answer is metaphor. In this excerpt, Joyce compares the girl's hair to a "soft rope," which suggests a direct comparison without using "like" or "as," characteristic of a metaphor.
Use this excerpt from “Araby” by James Joyce to answer the question.
Her dress swung as she moved her body and the soft rope of her hair tossed from side to side.
What type of figurative language does Joyce use when he compares the girl’s hair to a “soft rope”?
