Answer 2

Answer:

The figure of speech used in the sentence "Her keel was steady in the ocean" is personification.

Explanation:

• Personification is a figure of speech that assigns or attributes qualities or emotions of a living being/human to a non-living being.
• It is often employed in prose as well as poetry to bring out a dramatic effect and draw attention of the reader towards the subject.
• Examples- The full moon swam playfully across the night sky. Here the moon has been attributed the characteristic of being playful and swimming across the sky like a child.
• In the given sentence, the ship has been written about like a dainty lass when the author mentions about her keel being steady in the ocean.
• The use of the pronoun "her" instead of "it" rings across the dramatic effect of personification of the ship as a lady.
