Reply: In N. Scott Momaday's poem "Simile," figurative expressions such as simile and sensory imagery are employed.

A simile is a rhetorical device that draws comparisons to enhance descriptions. For example, in the phrase "now we are as the deer...", the poet likens humans to deer, emphasizing their poised and alert demeanor as they move in a line.

Furthermore, sensory imagery appears in the line "in whose limbs there is latent flight," suggesting that the speaker and their audience are primed to escape at the slightest hint of potential danger.
