The poetic device being used in the first line ‘Stormy, husky, brawling is imagery while ‘City of the Big Shoulders’ is allusion.
Answer: B) Allusion and D) Imagery
Explanation
Imagery is a poetic device that is used to give the reader a detailed description of the setting of the poem.
This device helps in setting the imagination of the reader.
Here ‘Stormy, husky, brawling’ brings the image of a busy and noisy atmosphere.
Allusion is a poetic device used to bring the name of something through an indirect reference.
Here ‘City of the Big Shoulders’ gives an indirect calling to hard-working city.
B. I assume because none of the other words would make sense in the sentence when it has the word of. XD
B) anaphoric is when words repeat at the beginning of a sentence or phrase and a alliteration is the repetition of the same sound of at the beginning of the sequence of words
Sensory imagery/ it's also a metaphor. What word (sound) is being repeated?
Hope it helps:)
