    B. Simile

    Explanation:

    A simile is a figurative language that uses comparisons to describe a thing, animal or someone, with the purpose of making the writing or the speech more colorful, meaningful, memorable and interesting. We can identify a simile in a text because it uses the words "like", "as" and "as in", and others to compare, such as it appears in the passage: "and will keep this precept as carefully as Sunday". In here, Sancho is comparing the way he will keep a precept to the way "Sunday" keeps a precept while using "as."
