Simile: A simile is a figure of speech in which a thing is compared to another thing that it resembles. It is typically introduced by the words “like” or “as”. A simile is used to make a comparison more vivid or understandable by creating a mental picture or association between two things that are not normally associated. For example, “Her eyes were as blue as the ocean.”

Altitude: The height of an object above sea level. It is the vertical distance between a point on the earth’s surface and the sea level, typically measured in feet or meters.

Homicide: Homicide refers to the act of killing another person, whether intentional or unintentional. It is typically used in a legal context to describe a criminal act of murder or manslaughter.

Eavesdropper: An eavesdropper is a person who listens in on private conversations or discussions without the knowledge or consent of those involved. Such a person is often seen as nosy and untrustworthy, and may be criticized for their lack of respect for others’ privacy.
