To identify the figure of speech, we need to analyze how the abstract concept of "courage" is presented in the given sentence. We will evaluate if it is compared directly, indirectly, given human qualities, or exaggerated.
B) Metaphor — A metaphor is a figure of speech that directly compares two unlike things without using "like" or "as." In the given sentence, "Courage was never designed for show," courage (an abstract quality) is implicitly compared to something tangible or a performance that can be designed or displayed. It treats courage as if it were an object or an event with a specific purpose or lack thereof, thus creating an indirect equation between courage and something that can be designed or shown.
The question asks to identify the figure of speech used in the phrase "It isn’t a thing that can come and go." To answer this, we need to understand the definitions of the given figures of speech and analyze how the phrase uses language.
Correct Option: D) Metaphor. The phrase treats an abstract concept (represented by "It") as if it were a concrete object or entity that has the ability to "come and go." This is an implied comparison where the abstract is understood in terms of the concrete, without using "like" or "as."
To identify the figure of speech, we need to analyze the given phrase "And every trial a man may meet" for specific literary devices. We will examine the sound patterns and the comparative or exaggerated meanings conveyed.
Correct Option: D) Alliteration — The phrase "man may meet" exhibits alliteration due to the repetition of the initial 'm' consonant sound in closely placed words.
The question asks to identify alliterated words from the given options. Alliteration is a literary device where words that are close together in a sentence or phrase begin with the same sound. This sound is typically a consonant sound, but it can also be a vowel sound. We need to examine each option to see if the words exhibit alliteration.
Correct Option: D) All the above — Options A, B, and C all demonstrate alliteration. "Daring" and "Deed" both start with the /d/ sound. "Thing" and "That" both start with the /th/ sound. "No" and "Need" both start with the /n/ sound. Therefore, all the listed pairs are examples of alliteration.
To find the rhyming scheme of a stanza, we assign a letter to the end sound of each line. If a subsequent line ends with the same sound, it gets the same letter. If it's a new sound, it gets the next letter in the alphabet.
A) AABB is the correct rhyming scheme as determined by the end sounds of the lines: hope (A), rope (A), man (B), plan (B).
The question asks to identify rhyming words within the given stanza. Rhyming words are words that have the same ending sound. We need to examine the last words of each line in the stanza to find pairs that rhyme.
C) Both 1) & 2) is the correct option because both "hope – rope" and "man – plan" are rhyming pairs found in the given stanza.
