Question

iv) In this lesson, under the heading, Style, the meaning of metonymy is given. Give two examples of metonymy from the extract. How is it used in the context?​

Answer 1

Metonymy means a figure of speech that is mainly used to associate one thing with some other thing by using some special word instead of using the normal conventional word. This is used by poets to describe certain objects, situations, or things in their poems. This adds to the richness of the overall text.

Metonymy used here are:

1. "Cool shade "
2. "tender rain"

These phrases here are used to bear a direct association with the tree.

Hope it helps!!!
