Answer 1

Answer:

Dust, Crow and Hemlock tree

Explanation:

Figurative language is the language in which the words are used in the non-literal senses. These words have a quite deeper meaning.

Answer 2

Answer:

The poem ‘Dust of Snow’ by Robert Frost has multiple figures of speech, namely Metaphor, Alliteration, Synecdoche, and Assonance.

• Metaphor is used when the poet compared the falling snow flakes from hemlock tree to dust.

• Alliteration is used in the lines ‘Has given my heart’ and ‘And saved some part’, as same consonants are used repeatedly in those lines.

• Synecdoche is used where the poet said his ‘heart’ undergone a change in mood, which actually represented his entire personality.

• Assonance is used to show repetition of vowels in several lines of this poem, for the sake of rhyme.
