Answer:

The literary device used is a metaphor.

Explanation:

A metaphor is a literary device that is used for comparison. This means that when a comparison is made between two unrelated things and their meanings cannot be taken literally, it is a metaphor.

In the given dialogue of Dr. House, a metaphor is used when the comparison is made between them (House and Wilson) and birds. House compares them to <em>"an early bird . . .and a night owl."</em> This comparison is used in the metaphorical sense.

Thus, the correct answer is a metaphor.

A example sentence of asyndeton?
riadik2000 [5.3K]

An <em>asyndeton</em> is a sentence that doesn't have a conjunction where you would expect it to be. A <em>conjunction </em>is a word that can put two independent clauses (or complete sentences) together. Some examples of conjunctions include the words <em>and, </em><em>yet</em>, <em>but, or for,</em> and <em>nor.</em>

<em />

Examples of asyndetons include:

- The sun was shining; it was a beautiful day.

- The stadium was packed; it was the biggest football game of the year.


As you can see, the easiest way to create an asyndeton is to use a <em>semicolon</em>, (;) which can be used to replace a conjunction by connecting two complete sentences.

Hope I helped! :)
