Versos Sencillos

… Alas nacer vi en los hombros
De las mujeres hermosas:
Y salir de los escombros,
Volando las mariposas …
—José Martí

El verso en negrita es un ejemplo de ________ en la poesía de Martí.

un símil
una metáfora
una alusión
una alegoría

Answer 1

The correct answer is UNA ALEGORÍA.

This term means the description of an image different from the reality that you want to express by a succession of metaphors.

Answer 2

The correct answer is una metáfora.

Step-by-step explanation:

A metaphor is something very common used in poetry and other literary genres.

Its function is to compare two things aesthetically.

In this case, beautiful women are being compared to butterflies.

Words are written in an aesthetic way, they are pleasing to the reader's view.

The metaphor can be confused with the simile, but for this sentence to be a simile it should say that women are like butterflies, and it does not say so.

In the metaphor two different things are compared, but they have some kind of similar characteristic. In this case, women and butterflies have the characteristic of being beautiful.

Given this information we can say that the correct answer is metaphor.
