Respuesta :

The answer that you're looking for is B. metaphor

Answer: B) Metaphor.

Explanation: a metaphor is a figure of speech that consists in making a direct comparison between elements that aren't obviously related, in order to create an image in the reader's mind. In the given quote from "The Comedy of Errors" by William Shakespeare, we can see a clear example of a metaphor that compares words to the wind, without using the words "like" or "as" (the comparison is direct).
