The question asks to identify the figure of speech used in the given lines: "Not hurrying to, nor turning from the goal; Not mourning for the things that disappear". We need to analyze the structure and meaning of the lines to determine which literary device is employed.
B) Anaphora is the correct figure of speech because the word "Not" is repeated at the beginning of consecutive clauses or phrases ("Not hurrying to, nor turning from the goal; Not mourning for the things that disappear"), creating emphasis and rhythm.
To determine the rhyming scheme, we need to look at the last word of each line and assign a letter to each new rhyming sound. If a sound repeats, we use the same letter.
This pattern is known as an enclosed rhyme or envelope rhyme, where the first and fourth lines rhyme, and the second and third lines rhyme.
A) ab ba is the correct rhyming scheme as determined by analyzing the end words of each line: year (A), soul (B), goal (B), disappear (A).
The question asks to identify the figure of speech in the phrase "New friendship, high adventure, and a crown." We need to analyze each element of the phrase and consider what it represents beyond its literal meaning.
D) Symbolism — The word "crown" is used not just for its literal meaning (a headpiece) but to represent a larger, abstract concept like power, royalty, achievement, or a grand reward. Similarly, "new friendship" and "high adventure" can also be seen as symbolic of new experiences and aspirations. Therefore, symbolism is the most evident figure of speech.
The task is to identify the figure of speech used in the given sentence. We need to analyze how the phrase "the road's last turn" is used to represent a concept other than a literal road.
The sentence uses "the road's last turn" to represent the end of a journey or life itself, making an implied comparison. This is the definition of a metaphor.
C) Metaphor — A metaphor is a figure of speech that directly compares two unlike things without using "like" or "as." In the given sentence, "the road's last turn" is a metaphorical representation of the end of a journey, life, or a significant phase, implying a comparison between life and a road, and its conclusion with a turn.
The question asks to identify the figure of speech used in the phrase "To Youth and Age, and travels on with cheer". We need to analyze the phrase for literary devices that involve contrast, comparison, exaggeration, or sound repetition.

The question asks to identify the figure of speech used in the given two lines of poetry. We need to analyze the structure and meaning of the lines to determine which literary device they exemplify.
Correct Option: A) Couplets
A couplet consists of two consecutive lines of poetry that typically rhyme and have the same meter, forming a complete thought. The given lines "My heart will keep the courage of the quest, And hope the road's last turn will be the best" clearly demonstrate this. They are two lines, they rhyme ('quest' and 'best'), and they express a unified idea.
