Question

1. read the following line from the poem. \my roots are deep in this earth.\ what literary device is present in the line? metaphor simile alliteration irony

Explanation:

A metaphor is a figure - of - speech that makes an implicit, implied, or hidden comparison between two things that are unrelated but share some common characteristics. Here, "roots" are used metaphorically to represent a deep - seated connection or attachment to a place (the earth), without using "like" or "as" which would make it a simile. There is no repetition of initial consonant sounds for alliteration, and no irony (a contrast between expectation and reality) is present.

Answer:

A. metaphor
