Answer 2

Answer:

All eyes turned in that direction. The ‘figure of speech’ in the line is C) Synecdoche.

Explanation:

In the given sentence ‘All eyes turned in that direction’, ‘all eyes’ is the Synecdoche. It represents all the people present at that particular moment whose heads turned in that direction.

Synecdoche is a figure of speech. It is used to depict a part for the whole or the whole for a part. It usually represents a collection.

For example: India has won the match. India here represents all the members in the Indian Team.

Similarly, ‘The Bench is absent today.’ Here Bench represents the judges.
