Answer:
Your answer would be that the literary device used in the passage is an analogy.
Explanation:
In the passage above, the author has used the literary device called analogy. An analogy is a comparison in which a thing or an idea is compared to another thing which is a little different from it. Its purpose is to explain the original idea by comparing it to something that is familiar. In this case, a relationship is compared to the way the stock market works. The author explains that both of them have ups and downs and that, in both cases, you only get what you put into them.
The words that represent verbs that would be useful in describing the purpose for a text are the following ones: Inform and define.
Cambridge dictionary defines the verbs "to inform" as "to tell someone about particular facts" and "to define" as "to say what the meaning of something is". When you are about to describe the purpose of a text, you are to inform the reader what you want to say and why you are saying it. You are giving meaning to your piece of writing.
