Answer 2

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.
