Question

Early on in the story the narrator mentions the sound of wind through the wires strung overhead: "The wind in the wires took up the story . . ."Taking the plot's rising action at this point into account, which of the following literary devices is the author most likely using?

A.creative license
B.irony
C.extended metaphor
D.personification

Answer 1

option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is option D.

The irony is the figure of speech which represents the contradiction between what is stated and what actually the scenario is.

the statement by the poet does not have any contradictory statements.

The extended metaphor is a part of speech which is used when there is a comparison between two unlike things in the paragraph.

in the given statement of the poem, there is no comparison.

Personification is the part of speech where human quality are given to non-living things.

in the give statement wind in the wire took up the story can be taken as the human quality.

so, the statement part of speech is personification.
