Read this passage from The Phantom Tollbooth.

The sky became quite gray and, along with it, the whole countryside seemed to lose its color and assume the same monotonous tone. Everything was quiet, and even the air hung heavily. The birds sang only gray songs and the road wound back and forth in an endless series of climbing curves.

What literary device does the author use to make the setting drearier?

a homophone
an idiom
onomatopoeia
a pun

Answer:

The literary device the author uses to make the setting drearier is an idiom.

Explanation:

  • Literary devices are a tool used by writers to show larger themes, ideas, and meanings in stories and texts.
  • An idiom is a group of words that are established by usage and have meanings that cannot be derived from the meaning of individual words.
  • Idioms are a type of image that can be used to add dynamism and personality to old phrases.
  • Idioms often help to express big or abstract ideas in a concise and easy-to-understand way. It helps in expressing complex ideas in simple terms.
  • In the passage, the sky became quite gray, monotonous tone, gray songs, and endless series of climbing curves, the air hung heavily are used to express and portray a drearier place.
