Question

Dad: “It’s just like this great song I heard a couple of miles back, “Big Daddy was a Truck-Drivin’ Man!”

Which literary device is used in this sentence?



personification


assonance ----Assonance most often refers to the repetition of internal vowel sounds in words that do not end the same.


metaphor


onomatopoeia

Answer 1

Answer: Metaphor

Step-by-step explanation:

A metaphor is a comparison literary device that refers to something as another thing to highlight that they are similar in a certain manner. This is much like a simile but does not use the words, "as" or "like".

In this sentence, Big Daddy is referred to as a "Truck-Drivin' Man" to highlight that he shares some similarities to a truck driving man thereby making it a metaphor.
