Read through the definitions of these four in this website. Then choose intelligently.
Thank you. The answer is Personification
Right.
To determine the correct answer, let's first understand what each literary device means:
A. Assonance: Assonance refers to the repetition of vowel sounds in nearby words. For example, "the purple bird chirped" is an example of assonance because the "ur" sound is repeated in "purple" and "bird."
B. Metaphor: A metaphor is a figure of speech that directly compares two unrelated things, stating that one thing is another. For example, "Her smile is a ray of sunshine" is a metaphor that compares someone's smile to the brightness and warmth of sunshine.
C. Alliteration: Alliteration is the repetition of the same consonant sound at the beginning of nearby words. For example, "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers" is an example of alliteration because the "p" sound is repeated.
D. Personification: Personification is a figure of speech where non-human objects or ideas are given human qualities or characteristics. For example, "The flowers danced in the wind" uses personification by giving the flowers the ability to dance, which is a human quality.
In the phrase "Let me in" said the pin, we see that the pin is given human-like qualities of speaking. This is an example of personification (option D) since the pin is being anthropomorphized by speaking. So, the correct answer is D. Personification.
