Feedback

The correct answer is personification. "whispering" is a human action to given to nature.

Correct answer is Simile because it is a direct comparison of smile and brightness of the sun using "like".

Correct answer - Metaphor Because it is a direct comparison between Time and thief. without "like" or "as". Here it means that when we miss moments of our life without us noticing, which we could have used productively, we assume that time has stollen them for us. But remember time waits for no one.

Correct answer is olfactory imagery because the Descriptive language used is appealing to the sense of smell.

The correct answer is oxymoron - when a contradictory abject-noun pair is formed. Silence is usually associated with emptiness, stillness, or dryness, whereas "dewy" implies freshness, moisture, and a sense of life or early morning, which brings a subtle, sensory, or "active" quality to the silence.

Correct answer is Allusion because a reference to a well-known person is made to talk about intelligence.

The correct answer is Transferred epithet. The "selfish" quality is attributed to the car (logical noun) but is actually referring to the person driving that car (relative noun).

Correct answer is parallelism. Listing words within the same frame of sentence.

Correct answer is Symbolism - An object representing a broader idea. The white flag represents "Surrender".

Correct answer is Irony - Contrary to expectation. Fire station is expected to have all sorts of fire safety items and preparations, even so the station was burned.

"raked his hands through his hair" refers to the movement of finger along the hair. Therefore, kinesthetic imagery.

synecdoche is the correct answer - wheels are a part of the car used as a substitute for the car as a whole.

Correct Answer: A paradox - presents a seemingly contradictory idea that reveals a deeper truth—silence cannot literally be louder than thunder, yet conveys intensity.

Correct answer: Chiasmus Chiasmus involves a reversal of structure in successive phrases (ABBA pattern). “Fair is foul / foul is fair” mirrors the structure.

Correct answer: metonymy. Pen” represents writing/intellect and “sword” represents warfare—substitution based on association.

Correct answer: Verbal Irony. The speaker means the opposite of what is said, a hallmark of verbal irony.
