Answer: C) metaphor.

Explanation:  a metaphor is a figure of speech that consists in making a direct comparison between elements that aren't obviously related, in order to create an image in the reader's mind. In the given lines from Sir Philip Sidney's sonnet, we can see an example of a metaphor, that compares Stella's eyes to bright beams. It isn't a simile because it doesn't use the words "like" or "as" to make the comparison, it doesn't use similar grammatical structures, so it isn't parallelism, and it isn't a hyperbole because it isn't exaggerating.

The correct answer is C. metaphor.

"Bright beams" that Nature has wrapped in black are Stella's eyes. In a way, it is also a simile, but every metaphor is a contracted simile (without "like").

There are other literary devices in this passage as well: contrast (black - bright), rhetorical question (one that doesn't have an answer, or an answer is obvious)...

When writing nonfiction an author has far more freedom
boyakko [2]
<span>When writing nonfiction, an author has far more freedom to move around from one setting to another. This is not something fiction writers can often do - if the story is located in one place, it's not easy for the author to suddenly just change the location where the story is told the way nonfiction authors can. However, nonfiction writers do not have such liberties to present conflicts, use their imagination, or change their characters the way fiction authors can.</span>
