Answer:

The sentence shown in the question above presents the figure of speech called a metaphor.

Explanation:

The metaphor is the figure of speech that presents a comparison between elements. This comparison is made subjectively, creating a deep, reflective and poetic meaning. In the sentence shown in the question above, we can perceive the metaphor because the sentence shows that there are screams that are so desperate that they cause more agony than the heat, the thirst, the stinking stench and the suffocating breathlessness. In this case, the metaphor was used to compare the agony that uncomfortable, negative and bad elements can cause.

What type of figurative language is ''november'' by Alice Cary?
Mashutka [201]

Full Question:

What type of figurative language is used in the first and second lines of "November" by Alice Cary?

A) Hyperbole

B) Simile

C) Onomatopoeia

D) Personification

Answer:

The correct answer is D) Personification

Explanation:

First, let's take a look a the referenced lines below:

"The robin will wear on his bosom"

"A vest that is bright and new"

Notice that the poet states that a bird will wear a vest. Ideally, only humans wear clothing.

This means that an animal has been ascribed a human attribute. Whenever this happens with an animal, place or thing, personification has been utilized.

So by way of definition, personification is a figurative language involving the attribution of human nature or character to an animal, place, or thing.

Another interesting example of personification is

"The summer is here. The sun gladly grins ear to ear."

The sun is an inanimate object it is not supposed to be able to grin or be glad. But the meaning is not lost on the reader because, unlike winter, during summer, there is a lot of sunlight.

  • We couldn't have opted for Hyperbole. This is simply creating an impression by exaggeration. Please see: brainly.com/question/20767765
  • We also couldn't have opted for Simile because there was no comparison in those lines. Please see:  brainly.com/question/20767765
  • Onomatopoeia is the wrong answer. It is a literary device wherein words which imitate the natural sound of an animal or a thing is used to create a more effective description. See definition here: brainly.com/question/21505822

Cheers
