The answer is a simile. This is because similes compare two things (these things here are his life and the dusty yards) by using like or as (specifically here as).

The other ones don't make sense: nothing is being over exaggerated (hyperbole), there are no repeating consonants (alliteration), and there are no human characteristics being given to inhuman subjects (personification).

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

The snacks are theirs.

Explanation:

You said "my brother's". Let's think of this like groups. That means you and your brother are included into one group and his friends are in the other. If you and your brother are in a group, it wouldn't make sense to say they're his. It'd be theirs because his friends are in the other group and it's their candy.

I hope this helps you!
