Question



"When to the sessions of sweet silent thought." Which literary device is used in the above line?

A.

Alliteration

B.

Personification

C.

Simile

D.

Metaphor

Correct option is A


Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds in closely connected words. In the given line, "sweet silent" repeats the "s" sound, creating a rhythmic and lyrical effect.
Information Booster
1. Enhances the musical quality of poetry.
2. Emphasizes particular phrases or themes.
3. Creates a sense of rhythm and flow.
4. Commonly used in poetry, speeches, and literature.
5. Adds to the aesthetic appeal of literary works.
Additional Knowledge
(b) Personification: Personification assigns human traits to non-human entities, making them relatable. For example, "The wind whispered through the trees" gives the wind a human-like quality.
(c) Simile: A simile compares two different things using "like" or "as" to highlight similarities. Example: "Her smile was as bright as the sun."
(d) Metaphor: A metaphor directly compares two unrelated things without "like" or "as," implying they are the same. Example: "Time is a thief" suggests time steals moments.
