Answer:

Metaphor

Explanation:

It is not alliteration because that would be a sentence most words start with the same letter (ex. Sally sells seashells by the seashore). It is not a simile because similes use 'like' and 'as' to compare two things. By process of elimination, it has to be a metaphor.
