What literary device involves a comparison between two unlike things using “like” or “as”?

  1. Imagery.

  2. Simile.

  3. Allusion.

  4. Metaphor.

The correct answer is: Simile.

A Imagery is a descriptive language that uses sensory details to create vivid mental images. It does not involve a comparison between two unlike things using "like" or "as". C: Allusion is a literary device that references a well-known person, place, event, or work of literature. It does not involve a direct comparison between two unlike things. D: Metaphor is a literary device that directly equates two unlike things without using "like" or "as". It is different from a simile, which uses "like" or "as" to make the comparison more obvious.
