Question

which figure of speech is used in this text? i thought id forgotten how to play with a boomerang, but then it came back to me. simile personification pun

Explanation:

A pun is a play on words that uses a word's multiple meanings or similar - sounding words for humor or effect. In the sentence "I thought I'd forgotten how to play with a boomerang, but then it came back to me", the phrase "came back to me" has a double meaning. On one hand, it refers to the boomerang's physical action of coming back, and on the other hand, it means that the knowledge of how to play with the boomerang came back to the speaker's memory. A simile uses "like" or "as" to make a comparison, and personification gives human - like qualities to non - human things. Since neither of these two figures of speech is used here, the figure of speech is a pun.

Answer:

pun
