Answer 1

'With trembling oars, I turned': The 'figure of speech' used in this line is Metaphor.

Metaphor is a 'figure of speech' which is used to 'make a comparison' in a way that is not exactly true but implies the same meaning. Here the words trembling oars is used. Trembling is human whereas oar is an inanimate object. Hence the words trembling oars is a metaphor. Oars are used in the place of hands. Oars are used to represent hands and hence the figure of speech is a metaphor.
