Answer:

Simile.

Explanation:

A simile is when a direct comparison is made between dissimilar things using "like" or "as". This literary technique is used to provide a more detailed and understandable description of the concerned elements/things.

The given quote is from Act I scene iii of William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet". Spoken by the Nurse, the quote is from when the Nurse revealed to Lady Capulet about Juliet's childhood incident where she had fallen and hit her forehead. This resulted in a big bump on the forehead, which the Nurse admits is "a bump as big as a young cockerel's stone." The use of the comparison word "as" makes it a simile, where the bump is compared to a rooster's testicle.

Thus, the correct answer is a simile.

Choose one of these short pieces and do a short interpretation of it.

Elis [28]

The history of Captain Nemo in the book "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" remains a mystery. However, in the course of the narrative, the reader is given some clues of what forged him as a stern captain. When he says "There I am free", referring to the ocean, it is possible to infer that he had a somehow captive life on land. He also reaffirms his refusal to go back to land for he would sacrifice the freedom of knowing the submarine world in his Nautilus. The words "builder" and "engineer" denote an academic education, the best disponible back then; he was able to design a submarine with electrical technology, the great Nautilus that made that under water journey possible.
