Neither, a metaphor would be like "I'm so hungry that I could probably eat an elephant," while a simile would have 'like' or 'as' to describe something.

The correct answer is neither. The sentence "We shall step upon white down" is neither a simile nor a metaphor.

Similes and metaphors are figures of speech mainly used in literature to provide a special effect to a piece of writing. Both similes and metaphors are based on comparisons; however, there are differences between them. A simile compares things using the words "like" or "as". An example of a simile is: "She was as white as snow". On the other hand, a metaphor states a comparison in a direct way using the verb "be". "Her eyes are a poem" is an example of metaphor. In that way, the sentence "We shall step upon white down" does not establish a simile nor a metaphor because it does not include a comparison between two things.

2. Which of the following is not an example of war imagery?

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

A. "horror bristling round the head”

Explanation:

The given question refers to the poem A Child's Nightmare written by Robert Graves.

The poem begins with some kind of nightmarish creature scaring the narrator when he was a child in his nursery, and then that same creature leaping on him again from the clank of a night train. This is in fact a night train that transported soldiers during the war. From this moment the war imagery begins. Lines when I'm shot through heart and head and nor the stretcher-bearer's cry are from this part of the poem, as well. The only line that is not an example of war imagery as it is from the first part of the poem is line A: horror bristling round the head.
