Explanation:

An idiom is a phrase or expression that typically has a figurative, non - literal meaning. The phrase "A picture is worth a thousand words" cannot be understood by just looking at the individual words' literal meanings. A metaphor is a direct comparison (e.g., "time is a thief"). A simile is a comparison using "like" or "as" (e.g., "she is as busy as a bee"). Ethics is about moral principles.
