Question

Which of the following literary techniques does Byron employ in the line "A heart whose love is innocent!" in "She Walks in Beauty?"

alliteration
metonymy
synecdoche
synesthesia

Answer 1

The correct answer is synecdoche

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The correct answer should be synecdoche.
Synecdoche is a figure of speech where a part of something is used to represent the whole thing, or vice versa. In the example above, the word heart refers to her entire being, not only to her heart. There is no alliteration (repetition of the same consonant) or synesthesia (mixture of senses) in the excerpt above.
