Question

When the hapless claimant dropt it  clanging on the floor.[Identify the figure of speech]​

Answer 1

The given line is from a poem.

Option A: A 'simile' is 'a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid'. We usually use the words 'like' and 'as' in a simile, to make a comparison.

In the given sentence, the words 'like pearls' is a simile, as it contains the word 'like'. Something is being compared with 'pearls', but that thing is not mentioned here. (Perhaps it has been mentioned in a previous line of the poem.)

Hence, option A is correct.

Option B: An oxymoron is a figure of speech that uses contradictory terms together, to form a paradox. For example, 'perfectly imperfect'.

Option C: Personification is a figure of speech where inanimate objects are brought to lie. They are given human qualities as if they are alive: 'the trees wept at every blow and hack'.

Option D: 'Hyperbole' is an exaggerated statement or claim not meant to be taken literally: 'she tore her hair in despair'.

These expressions are not seen in the given line. Hence, options B, C and D are wrong.

Answer 2
