Question

question 9 of 10 read the first part of e. e. cummingss poem \spring is like a perhaps hand\ below: spring is like a perhaps hand (which comes carefully out of nowhere)arranging a window,into which people look(while people stare which of these poetic devices does this poem most represent? a. metaphor b. enjambment c. end - stopped lines d. iambic pentameter

Explanation:

The poem compares spring to a hand using "is like", which is a simile. A simile is a type of metaphor. The lines also run over from one to the next without pause, which is enjambment. But the most prominent device is the comparison, so metaphor is the best - fitting answer. 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, spring is compared to a hand that arranges a window.

Answer:

A. Metaphor
