The poetic device being used in the first line ‘Stormy, husky, brawling is imagery while ‘City of the Big Shoulders’ is allusion.  

Answer: B) Allusion and D) Imagery

Explanation

Imagery is a poetic device that is used to give the reader a detailed description of the setting of the poem.

This device helps in setting the imagination of the reader.

Here ‘Stormy, husky, brawling’ brings the image of a busy and noisy atmosphere.

Allusion is a poetic device used to bring the name of something through an indirect reference.

Here ‘City of the Big Shoulders’ gives an indirect calling to hard-working city.

Read William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18. Note that it is divided into three quatrains followed by a concluding couplet. Which two s
MAXImum [283]

The ninth line of the sonnet brings in a major change of tone. Shakespeare jumps on elaborating the immortality of his lover rather than continuing the criticism of the sun.  Moreover, the limitations of nature are replaced by his lover’s thoughts and he claims that his darling is not bounded by the rules that are being displayed.

In line-4, the summer is stated as ”eternal summer”, since it keeps returning every year. And noticing from the previous personifications employed in the sonnet, we can easily recognize the similarity between “summer’s day” and “thee”. Both can be eternal or can fade with time. This is the major reason why the author takes a turn on line-9, as both of them have only one threat-time; and the third force that can eternalize them both is the poetry that the author has created.

To conclude, we can easily notice the turn in topic and breaking of the stanza.
