    The correct answer is B) a comparison using like or as.

    In extended similes, you can find very long comparisons between two or more things that span several lines of a poem. Homer was famous for this so it is also known as Homeric simile. He used it for example when describing how Odysseus' ship is thrown around by waves in a similar manner to how fishermen are thrown by waves.
