Question

Ron the Rabbit is a rocket when he races to Rochester to buy red ribbons for wrapping roses. Which literary device is NOT used in the sentence?

A) metaphor

B) alliteration

C) simile

D) personification

Answer 1

Simile is not used.

Explanation:

The alliteration is used since the letter/sound of R is frequently repeated.


The metaphor is used since it’s saying Ron the Rabbit IS a rocket. It compares the two WITHOUT using like/as.

Lastly, personification is used because the rabbit is given human characteristics, like it’s name (Ron).

Answer 2

A similar is not used because a similar compares things using like or as, that does not happen here.
