Question

This is another chapter in the book
Which Figures of speech is this????
With Explanation..pls..

Answer 1

It is a metaphor, as rightly pointed out by ArnabMondal. A metaphor is a figure of speech that compares things in an indirect manner. So, in the sentence, ‘This is another chapter in the book’ , the word ‘chapter’ can mean an incident, an event or a small part. Similarly, the ‘book’ refers to life in general. Therefore, the metaphor means that this is only a small part of life and not the complete life itself. The book represents life while different chapters represent the various experiences that life has to offer.

Answer 2

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, reading a book has been compared to taking a journey into another world of adventures, which cannot be literally true. Thus, the correct answer is Option A) - Metaphor. All the remaining options are also literary devices, but they have not been used in the given sentence.
