Question



The literary device present in the line “I am as quick as a cheetah” is

A.

Satire

B.

Alliteration

C.

Hyperbole

D.

Simile

Correct option is D


The correct answer is simile because the comparison between the speaker and a cheetah is explicitly made using the word “as.”
· A simile uses “like” or “as” to compare two different things.
· Hyperbole involves exaggeration, which is not evident here.
· Satire is used for criticism, and alliteration is unrelated to this context.
