Respuesta :

The correct answer is D) a comparison using like or as Description

In extended similes, there are long comparisons between two things that span several lines of a poem. Homer was famous for this so it is also known sometimes 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.
