What literary device has been used in the expression '... like a flash of lightning among the clouds' ?
Answer: C
The device is a Simile.
A simile compares two different things directly, using 'like' or 'as'. The phrase '... like a flash of lightning among the clouds' uses like to compare something in the story with a flash of lightning, sudden, bright and brief.
Hyperbole is exaggeration for effect, a paradox is a statement that seems self-contradictory but holds a truth, and parallelism is the repetition of a grammatical pattern. The word 'like' marks this as a simile.
