Question

literary devices in the danger of lying in b
i could read of railway accidents every day--the newspaper
atmosphere was foggy with them; but somehow they never
came my way.

which literary device is in this passage from
\the danger of lying in bed\?

metaphor - a comparison of two unlike things without
using \like\ or \as\

repetition - a word or phrase used multiple times to make
a point

simile - a comparison of two unlike things using \like\ or
\as\

Explanation:

In the passage, "the newspaper atmosphere was foggy with them" compares the newspaper's atmosphere (a non - physical, conceptual thing) to something being foggy (a physical, sensory - related concept) without using "like" or "as", which fits the definition of a metaphor. Repetition is not present as no word or phrase is repeated, and a simile requires "like" or "as" which are not used here.

Answer:

metaphor - a comparison of two unlike things without using "like" or "as"
