Question

Read this excerpt from Patrick Henry's speech They, British ships, are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those chains which the British ministry have been so long forging.

What kind of figurative language does he use here?

a: metaphor
b: rhetorical question 
c: tone
d: simile

Answer 1

The correct answer is A, A Metaphor, i hope this helps really a lot. 

Answer 2

he probably uses a metaphor because a simile uses the words like and as and a metaphor does not use the words like and as. Hope this helps!
