Explanation:

To determine the figurative language, we analyze each option:

• Metaphor: A metaphor makes a direct comparison by stating one thing is another. In "Her eyes were pools of emerald green", eyes are directly compared to pools (without "like" or "as"), so this fits.
• Satire: Satire uses humor/irony to criticize, which is not present here.
• Situational Irony: This involves an unexpected outcome, which is not the case here.
