Answer 1

The correct option is A Metaphor and simile

The given passage is whole about two lovers in China who are bound by societal rules though they carried so much love in their hearts to defeat the world.

The given options A is the correct option because simile is a literal figure in which comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind made.

The option A is correct because in this given sentence Leen's face is compared to white Lily when flames rush to her face, so here her face becomes as white as Lily so her face is compared to Lily ..This means the author is explaining the beauty of Leen's face.

Similarly, metaphor is also the same thing, the difference is in metaphor directly state a comparison meanwhile in simile uses the words like or as to make the comparison.
