Question

Identify the figure of speech of the given sentences:-

1. I heard the panting of the engine.

2. These cookies taste like garbage.

3. Shakuntala’s eyes were saucers.

4. Glittering through the gloomy glades.​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. I heard the panting of the engine ⇒ Personification(because you can't hear a painting and the poet has used a imaginary line.)

2. These cookies taste like garbage ⇒ Simile(the word like is used.)

3. Shakuntala’s eyes were saucers ⇒ Metaphor(the word like is hidden in the line i.e, "Shakuntala’s eyes were like saucers".)

4. Glittering through the gloomy glades ⇒ Alliteration( the consonant letters like g, t, h are repeated in the line.)
