Answer 2

Answer:

Answers of the given sentence -

1. "Frost painted all the trees silver" - the figure of speech used here is Personification.

2. There was still winter in the giant's garden because- there was no children in the garden.

Explanation:

The above lines are taken from the story "The Selfish Giant" by Oscar Wilde.

• Personification - Personification is a figure of speech in which human qualities are attributed to the non-human objects. In personification human abilities are given to non-living things.

Here in the 1st question, "Frost" is a non-living object. But "Frost" is given human qualities to paint the trees, Thus personification is used here.

Some examples of personification -

1. Trees dance in the wind.
2. Stars wink in the sky.
3. The moon played hide and seek with the clouds.
4. My flowers were begging for water.
5. The sun smiled down on us.

• The giant was so selfish at first that he didn't allow children to come and play in his garden. He built up a high wall around his garden so that no children could enter. Nature got angry with the selfish giant. When Spring arrived in the whole country, the giant's garden was still covered with snow and frost. As the giant didn't allow children to enter his garden, there was still winter in his garden.
