Question

"Banikantha’s house looked out upon the stream. Every hut and stack in the place could be seen by the passing boatmen. I know not if amid these signs of worldly wealth anyone noticed the little girl who, when her work was done, stole away to the waterside and sat there. But here Nature fulfilled her want of speech and spoke for her. The murmur of the brook, the voice of the village folk, the songs of the boatmen, the cry of the birds and the rustle of trees mingled and were one with the trembling of her heart. They became one vast wave of sound which beat upon her restless soul.

Answer 2

Answer: B) Characterization

Step-by-step explanation: Characterization is a literary device that is used to highlight and explain the details about a character in a story. In the given passage we can see an example of characterization because the speaker is using imagery to describe Banikantha, the narrator describes her through her actions for example, sitting at the waterside after her work was done, and also how she loved nature.
