Answer:

metaphor

Explanation:

Metaphor is a hidden comparison between two things. When using a metaphor, the writer suggests similarity between one thing and another without the words like and as.

Actually, we have two examples of metaphor in the sentence:

1. the public are swine

2. advertising is the rattling of a stick inside a swill-bucket.
