Answer 2

Final Answer:

Metaphor is the figure of speech used here.

Explanation:

• A figure of speech is a creative use of language to generate an effect. Some figures of speech, like metaphor, simile, and metonymy, are found in everyday language. Others, like antithesis, circumlocution, and puns take more practice to implement in writing.

• Metaphor – The whole world is a stage. Personification – The wind whispered in my ears. Apostrophe – O William, you should be living now to see all this. Alliteration – Sally sold some seashells.

• A figure of speech is a word or phrase that possesses a separate meaning from its literal meaning. It can be a metaphor or a simile, designed to make a comparison. It can be the repetition of alliteration or exaggeration of hyperbole to provide a dramatic effect.

• Figurative language creates pictures in the mind of the reader or listener. These pictures help convey the meaning faster and more vividly than words alone. We use figures of speech in "figurative language" to add color and interest and to awaken the imagination.
