Question

directions: read the following examples of figurative language. identify the poetic device being used. their thoughts were like golden birds. a) simile b) metaphor c) hyperbole d) personification

Explanation:

A simile is a poetic device that makes a comparison between two different things using the words "like" or "as". In the sentence "Their thoughts were like golden birds", the word "like" is used to compare "thoughts" to "golden birds", which fits the definition of a simile. A metaphor also makes a comparison but without "like" or "as", hyperbole is an exaggeration, and personification gives human traits to non - human things. So the correct device is simile.

Answer:

A. Simile
