Answer:
the correct option is D: Antithesis
Explanation:
An Antithesis is a literary device which features opposing or contrary ideas side by side to achieve a contrasting effect.
<em>"Though they were my joy"....</em>then he adds<em> </em><em>formerly </em>thus negating or reversing the first phrase. The same goes for the second line in the excerpt:
<em>"today I notice them..." </em>then he adds "<em>and turn away forgetting</em>" thus flipping the first part of the sentence. Hence the contrasts are used to creatively highlight his thoughts.
Cheers!
A metaphor is defined as a figure of speech where a word or phrase is applied to an object or an action to which is it not literally applicable. It compares the objects without using the word 'like' or 'as' (that would be a simile). So for this question, the answer would be D. The mighty oak is the king of the forest world. The other three answers are examples of similes.
