Question

c) 'And sorry I could not travel both/ And be one traveller, long I stood' The poetic device used here is _________

> Simile
> Metaphor
> Anaphora
> none of the above

Answer 1

The literary device used in these lines is 3. Anaphora.

Let us examine all the options:

1. Simile- A simile is used to directly compare two aspects or people or things using ‘like’ and ‘as ___ as’. There is no such comparison mentioned in these lines. Thus, this option is not the correct answer.

2. Metaphor- A metaphor is also a device that is used for comparison, but in an indirect way. However, there is no comparison happening here and so, this is not the correct answer.  

3. Anaphora- It refers to the repetition of words and phrases at the beginning of consecutive sentences.

Here the word 'And' has been used to begin both the lines. Hence anaphora is the correct answer.

4. None of the above- It is not a valid option, since the third option is the correct answer.
