Question

16. Rita Dove describes her poem as: “How to find words for the human heart and all the emotions we ascribe to it? The path is a veritable minefield of clichés—those well-intentioned, once-fresh expressions whose very popularity has rendered them useless, even laughable.” When she describes the path "as a veritable minefield of clichés" she is using what part of figurative language? 1 point Simile Hyperbole Alliteration Metaphor

Answer 1

This is either a simile or a metaphor

Step-by-step explanation:

I say this because, she is comparing the path to clichés and a metaphor is comparing 2 things using like or as and a simile is comparing 2 things WITHOUT using like or as. Hope this helps <3 -A middle schooler
