ii. Simile is a figure of speech used in comparison. example- busy as a bee, brave as a lion.

iii. allegory is a piece of literature or art with hidden meanings, especially moral or political.
example- The Pilgrim's Progress is an allegory of the spiritual journey.

iv. irony is sarcastic remarks, for comic relief.
