Review the passage. When the tangled cobweb pulls The cornflower’s cap awry, And the lilies tall lean over the wall To bow to the butterfly, It is July. Which best identifies and interprets the device underlined in the passage? It is an appeal to hearing, as a cap is an outdated term for a hearing aide. It is personification, as a cobweb is described as "pulling" and a cornflower is described as wearing a cap. It is a metaphor, as the cobweb actually represents the world the poet has created. It is an appeal to the reader's sense of touch, as one can almost feel the sticky fibers of the tangled cobweb.
