Question

Q.5) Add one cup boiling hot water to the mixture.(Identify the Figure of Speech)
O Tautology
Inversion
O Metaphor
O Personification​

Answer 1

here the figure of speech is Tautology as the words boiling or hot have the same meaning.

Answer 2

The figure of speech used in the sentence is tautology.

• When tautology is used in a sentence, it means that the same thing has been said in the sentence twice with the use of different words.
• In the given sentence the phrase "boiling hot" represents tautology as both the words are different and mean the same thing.
• For example: "In my opinion, I think that Rama deserves this job". Here the phrases "in my opinion " and "I think that" mean the same thing which is said twice.
