Answer:

Simile

Explanation:

Similes and Metaphors are both used to make comparisons in literature. You can understand the different, though, by searching for a single word in a phrase. While a metaphor is a direct statement (such as "love is a battlefield"), a simile uses the words "like" or "as" to compare things (such as in "life is like a box of chocolate").
