Question

match each example of figurative language to its meaning.
\the doors of breath\
\her cheek would shame those stars / as daylight doth a lamp\
\as glorious to this night... / as is a winged messenger of heaven\
\the mask of night\
options: lips, the dark, she is more beautiful than the stars, she is like an angel.

Explanation:

1. "the doors of breath" - Lips are associated with breath (as we breathe through lips), so this matches "lips".
2. "Her cheek would shame those stars / As daylight doth a lamp" - This compares her beauty to stars, implying she is more beautiful than stars, so it matches "She is more beautiful than the stars".
3. "As glorious to this night... / As is a winged messenger of heaven" - A winged messenger of heaven is an angel, so this implies she is like an angel, matching "She is like an angel".
4. "the mask of night" - Night is dark, and a mask can cover or represent, so this matches "the dark".

Answer:

"the doors of breath" - lips
"Her cheek would shame those stars / As daylight doth a lamp" - She is more beautiful than the stars
"As glorious to this night... / As is a winged messenger of heaven" - She is like an angel
"the mask of night" - the dark
