The option with the same figure of speech is:
Sea waves roared frighteningly on a stormy night. (option a)
"And then sheer, stark terror seized me."
- The figure of speech in this sentence is personification.
Personification: It is the literary device that gives non-living objects human attributes.
- In the given sentence "terror" has been personified as it "seized" the speaker.
- Terror is an abstract feeling and thus cannot physically seize anything. So, we conclude that it has been personified.
"Sea waves roared frighteningly on a stormy night."
- In this sentence, "sea waves" have been personified as they are non-living things and hence, incapable of "roaring".
- So, it has the same figure of speech as the given statement.
Therefore, the correct option is (a) Sea waves roared frighteningly on a stormy night.
