Answer 2

The figure of speech used in the given sentences are as follows:

1. Simile

• In the given sentence the banyan tree is compared to a problem using the word 'like'.
• When two dissimilar entities are in comparison to each other using a comparing word (here, like), the poetic device used is referred to as simile.

2. Inversion

• The grammatical structure of the sentence is changed to support the rhyme scheme of the poem.
• The grammatically correct sentence should be 'And the woman's feet were slow with age'.
