Answer 2

The poetic devices used in the line " On pads of velvet quiet, In his quiet rage", are Metaphor and Oxymoron.

• The poem 'A Tiger in the Zoo' written by Leslie Norris is about wildlife conservation and the freedom of these animals.
• The poet regards the tiger as a proud creature and does not consider it a beast. According to the poet, humans are more dreadful than the tiger.
• In the line " On pads of velvet quiet", the poet compares the tiger's pads with the velvet fabric. Such comparison without using a comparing word is called metaphor.
• In the line "In his quiet rage", the poet uses oxymoron as he has used two contrasting words 'quiet' and 'rage' together.
