Explanation:

Question 3

Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds within words. In "Hear the mellow wedding bells, / Golden bells!", the long "e" sound in "mellow" and "bells" (and the "o" in "golden" also has a repeated vowel - like quality in the context of the line's rhythm and sound) creates assonance. Personification gives human traits to non - human things (bells aren't given human traits here), metaphor is a direct comparison without "like" or "as" (not the case here), and allusion is a reference to something else (no reference here). So the correct answer is b.

Allusion is a reference to a person, place, or thing from history, literature, or mythology. Aphrodite is a figure from Greek mythology. Personification (giving human traits, not done here), assonance (repetition of vowel sounds, not the main device here), and metaphor (direct comparison, not a comparison to Aphrodite in the metaphor sense but a reference) are not the right choices. So the correct answer is d.

Hyperbole is an exaggeration. Saying the daffodils stretched in a "never - ending line" is an exaggeration as lines of daffodils can't be truly never - ending. Simile uses "like" or "as" (not used here), onomatopoeia is a word that imitates a sound (not the case here). So the correct answer is c.

Answer:

b. assonance
