To answer the first question, "Which of the following names a type of figurative language?", you can eliminate options C and D (Definition and Dialogue) because they are not forms of figurative language. To identify the correct answer, you need to understand the definition of each option. A metaphor is a figure of speech that compares two different things by stating that one thing is another. Rhythm refers to the pattern or musical quality of a poem. Based on this information, the correct answer is A. Metaphor, as it is the only option that represents a form of figurative language.
Moving on to the second question, "Which of the following poetry lines contain a simile?", you need to identify the line that compares two different things using the words "like" or "as". Looking at the given options:
A. The smell of sweet happiness swirls from the bakery door
B. The last bird-song of the day greets the first night star
C. Drops floated on the pool like pearls
D. Moonlight spilled on the meadow
Option C, "Drops floated on the pool like pearls," contains a simile. This line compares the drops floating on the pool to pearls using the word "like."
Lastly, let's address the question about sound devices in the given lines of poetry:
"This is the pond, these are my feet.
This is the rooster, and this is more of my feet."
To identify the sound device used in these lines, you need to understand the definitions of the given options. Alliteration refers to the repetition of initial consonant sounds. Repetition is the act of repeating certain words or phrases. Onomatopoeia is the use of words that imitate the sound they represent. Rhythm refers to the pattern or musical quality of a poem.
Looking at the given lines, there is a repetition of the phrase "this is" throughout. Thus, the correct answer is B. Repetition. These lines demonstrate the use of repetition as a sound device.
