The speaker in William Blake’s “The Tyger” uses synecdoche when he asks What immortal hand and eye / Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

The term synecdoche is a figure of speech. It is used when we take one portion of a whole in order to stand for that whole. For instance, if someone asks you “How is your health?”. You answer “just see my big smile”, then you are saying that all your body is healthily represented in the smile on your face. That is why the correct answer for this question is: The speaker in William Blake’s “The Tyger” uses synecdoche when he asks What immortal hand and eye / Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
