Answer: D) onomatopoeia.

Explanation: a metaphor is a direct comparison without using the words "like" or "as." Alliteration is the repetition of the beginning sound of consecutive words, or words that are close to each other. A simile is also a comparison but using the words "like" or "as." And an onomatopoeia is a figure of speech that consists in creating or using words that include sounds that are similar to the noises the words refer to, for example: cuckoo, meow, honk, boom, etc. So the correct answer is option D.

What does the poet request of the west wind and why
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The speaker asks the wind to “make me thy lyre,” to be his own Spirit, and to drive his thoughts across the universe, “like withered leaves, to quicken a new birth.” He asks the wind, by the incantation of this verse, to scatter his words among mankind, to be the “trumpet of a prophecy.”

Read the excerpt from Mark Twain's "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note".
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The answer is hyperbole.

Explanation:

It's a familiar question.

Also, Hyperbole is an exaggeration. The most blatant display of exaggeration here is the author's description of her laughter.

The following lines show this:

"...and it nearly killed her laughing"

"...she laughed herself lame--she did, indeed;"

She couldn't have possibly laughed herself lame of course but the hyperbole is used in showing how hard she must have laughed at what he was telling her.
