Which figurative language technique is used in

English
1 answer:
KengaRu [80]2 years ago

The figurative language technique employed in the sentence "... or dost thou guess, in the dark?" is a metaphor, as expressed in the first option.

<h3>What is a metaphor?</h3>
  • A metaphor is a type of figurative language.
  • It consists of a comparison between different things.
  • A metaphor does not use words such as "like" or "as."
  • An example is: Your eyes are bright stars illuminating the darkness.

We can eliminate hyperbole, which is the use of exaggeration. Onomatopoeia is the use of words that imitate sounds, so we can also eliminate it. Personification is the attribution of human qualities to inanimate objects, which means it is also incorrect.

We can conclude that the best option is metaphor. The speaker compares guessing to someone who is in the dark, who cannot see.

(Please include your reasoning behind your answer if you wish to be marked brainliest, thanks! &lt;3) Which sentence helps you c
Dmitrij [34]

A) The food has become so scarce that we eat beans and potatoes in everything, including in our bread.

When I was answering this questions I was stuck between A and B, but I realized that A was the correct answer. The description of the lack of food shows you how the food has gotten so scarce because of to the poverty due to the war. On the other hand, answer B shows that there are high levels of stress, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it has to do with the war.

Hope this helps :)
