Answer 2

Answer:

Imagery is based on our senses and most often is used for images. Imagery is using vivid and descriptive language to add depth to their work. So it would perfectly fit to use it for colour.

Explanation:

1. Metaphor

Metaphor is when there is a comparison made between two different things which share something in common.

Eg : The world is your oyster.

2. Metonymy

Metonymy is when a phrase is replaced with another which has a similar meaning, used to describe something in an indirect manner.

Eg : I remain loyal to the crown.

3. Oxymoron

Oxymoron is when two words contradict one another.

Eg : The girl next door is pretty ugly.

4. Onomatopoeia

Onomatopoeia is a word which resembles the sound it is describing.

Eg : My watch ticks loudly.

5. Paradox

Paradox is a statement which contradicts itself.

Eg : Deep down Anna is really shallow.

6. Personification

Personification is when an object which is not alive is given human qualities.

Eg : My car is a real beauty.

7. Pun

A pun is a play on words, it uses a word to give a different sense to a sentence and add a double meaning.

Eg : An egg for breakfast is not easy to beat.

8. Simile

Simile is a phrase which compares something to something else using the word like or as.

Eg : Her hair was as golden as sun.

9. Synecdoche

Synecdoche is a statement in which only part of something is expressed to relate to the whole.

Eg : He has just got some new wheel.

10. Understatement

Understatement is a statement which is made to be less important than what is actually being conveyed.

Eg : I only have two million dollar.
