Explicação

A figure of speech is a word or phrase that is used in a non-literal sense for rhetorical or vivid effect. In the given options, option A, "Her room is a pigsty," is an example of a figure of speech. It uses a metaphor to compare her room to a pigsty, implying that it is very messy, without using "like" or "as" which are used in similes. The other options are straightforward statements without using any figures of speech.
