Question

name the figure of speech used in : light fades as silk to evening.

Answer 1

Answer:

'Metaphor' is a literary device / figure of speech in which a word or a phrase is given / applied to an action, object or event where it is not literally applicable. In simpler terms, a metaphor is a comparison that is drawn between two completely unrelated things. In this case, the hair of the subject has been compared to silk due to its softness and sheen, which cannot be literally true. Thus, the correct answer is Metaphor.
