    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.

    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.
