What type of literary device is being used in the sentence in quotation marks?

When the narrator wants to describe what it's like having to tote her annoying little sister around, she gives us a snapshot image that sums up her feelings of loneliness: "Until then I am a red balloon, a balloon tied to an anchor". ("Boys & Girls")

Select one:
a. metaphor
b. onomatopoeia
c. personification
d. simile

Answer 1

it is metaphor

Step-by-step explanation:

metaphor is a poetic devices that poets use to compare unlike things or objects without the use of 'like' or 'as'.

the narrator, in these verses, compared herself to be a red balloon.

onometopoeia are words that sound like it's definition. like BANG.

personification is giving objects or animals human attributions. like the dog talked like a man.

simile is comparing unlike things WITH the use of 'like' or 'as'.
