Question

read the quotation from \a hymn to the evening\. \let placid slumbers sooth each weary mind, at morn to wake more heavnly, more refind\ these lines contain an example of
o simile.
o metaphor.
o hyperbole.
o synecdoche.

Explanation:

A simile uses "like" or "as" to compare two things; this quote has no such comparison. A metaphor directly equates two things without "like" or "as", which isn't present here. A hyperbole is extreme exaggeration, not evident in these lines. Synecdoche is a figure - of - speech where a part represents the whole or vice - versa, not shown here. However, among the options, there are no other figures of speech present, and this is a non - applicable question as none of the options truly fit, but if we have to choose based on the given choices, it's not a simile, metaphor, hyperbole or synecdoche in a clear sense. But if we assume a basic level of analysis, there is no comparison with "like" or "as" so not a simile; no direct substitution like in metaphor; no extreme exaggeration for hyperbole; and no part - whole relation for synecdoche.

Answer:

None of the above (but if forced to choose from given options, none of them are correct as the lines don't clearly exhibit any of these figures of speech)
