What type of figurative language is exemplified in the above passage

The answer is indeed metaphor.

Explanation:

The excerpt provided in the picture belongs to the famous novel "Don Quixote". In the passage, we find a figure of speech called metaphor. A metaphor is employed by the writer when he wishes to make an indirect comparison between two different things. The objective is to attribute the quality of one to the other. A simile is also a figure of speech that establishes a comparison but, unlike the metaphor, it uses support words such as "like" or "as". A metaphor simply states that one thing is the other thing.

In the excerpt, the mule is compared to a castle when the narrator says, "drove his heels into his castle of a mule." The intention is to have readers understand that the mule has one or more qualities that would normally be associated with a castle. It's probably big, strong, and resilient. Therefore, the best option for this question is letter A) metaphor.

do you know the story wonder?

well on wonder it has different stories from each person and they can all share their thoughts and feeling each not just one. if there was one you would only get to see one persons thoughts and feelings. so do a story point on multiple of the main characters.

hope i !
