Step-by-step explanation:

Odyssey

Answer 2

Answer: apostrophe

Step-by-step explanation: Blake is directly addressing the Tyger as if he could talk to it, using verbs in the second person. This way of talking to an unreachable, absent or abstract addressee is called apostrophe and it usually contains exclamations, orders or questions, as in this case. There are no metaphors, similes or instances of irony in the excerpt.
