This question is incomplete because two options are missing; here is the complete question

Read the excerpt below and answer the question.

The girl was looking off at the line of hills. They were white in the sun and the country was brown and dry.

"They look like white elephants," she said.

What type of figurative language is used in the passage above?

alliteration

metaphor

personification

simile

According to the above, the correct answer is the last option Simile

Explanation:

To begin with, figurative language refers to the non-literal language, which is used in poetry, literature and similar to aesthetical purposes and to convey meaning. In the case of simile, this is about creating a comparison between two elements, people, etc. by using words such as "like" or "as". This occurs in the section "They look like white elephants" because the author compares the hills with white elephants by using the word "like". Thus, the type of figurative language is clearly simile.

Read the passage from Initiation. Millicent brushed back a strand of hair. It was stiff and sticky from the egg that they had br
user100 [1]
The best answer is 
<span>The author uses indirect characterization to describe how Millicent feels.

While the author's description of the ceremony gives the idea that Millicent probably looks pretty gross, with egg on her head and whatnot, the passage mainly gives the reader an empathetic view into Millicent's experience. 
The scene is described as sounds and sensations from Millicent's point of view. She feels her stiff hair, and the cold egg on her back, hears the stifled laughter and crunch of the egg breaking. We can imagine the intensity of the experience, blindfolded and hearing, feeling, and probably smelling the unpleasant experiences during this initiation.
In the end, the passage concludes with: "</span><span>It was all part of the ceremony." This final sentence may relay how Millicent is processing the unpleasant initiation, rationalizing that this is just a step on her way to being part of the group. </span>
