Option D - The correct figure of speech used in the given statement is "Personification" as "the voice of the country" which is an abstract visualized as a person.
- In Personification, we represent an abstract idea or a thing as a person and give it human qualities.
- Here, the abstract idea is "the voice of the country" which is attributed to the human activity "to complain".
Option A : Antithesis :
- It is a figure of speech in the literature which involves two or more people or ideas of opposite nature put together.
- Thus, two opposite ideas are parallelly placed
- Ex. "Speech is Silver, but Silence is Gold". Here, the two ideas used have completely opposite meanings.
Option B : Euphemism :
- It is a soft way of saying or delivering a message that would rather sound direct, rude, blunt, or offensive.
- Thus, it reduces the hardness of the message keeping its meaning intact
- Ex. "You look healthy" instead of saying "You are fat" which is rather blunt and rude.
Option C : Litotes :
- This figure of speech is used to deliver an affirmation by negating its opposite to have a greater impact.
- Thus, instead of using "positive", we use "not negative"
- Ex. "It's not a bad idea" instead of saying "It's a good idea" which changes its impact.
