Answer 2

Literary works are filled with art through different kinds of writing. Rhythm is used commonly in poems. They are focused on the variety of placements of the stresses of the words. Personification is used by giving human attributes to a nonhuman being. Parallelism is the use of consecutive prose that construct a corresponding similarity in grammar or tone.

Metaphor is more commonly used as a figure of speech to express things that are not meant literally. Examples are chained the wheel of chance and fear from her rotations. They use symbols in abstract to comprehend the meaning .

The answer is B.
