What is a sentence using the word synecdoche?

"The wheels were spinning furiously as the racer sped down the track," is a sentence using synecdoche.

Here's why:

* Synecdoche is a figure of speech where a part of something represents the whole, or vice versa.

* In the sentence, "wheels" represent the entire car (the whole).

* Similarly, "racer" refers to the person driving the car, using the role (a part) to represent the whole person.
