Respuesta :

Answer:

Metaphor

Explanation:

We define a metaphor as "a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable" (Oxford dictionary).

It is the attribute of a living organism to "hurry". The wagons can not  "hurry" by themselves talk more of doing that "soundlessly"

Hence the figure of speech is a metaphor.
