Question

Which type of figurative language is used in the following line from John F. Kennedy's inaugural address to the nation?

Now the trumpet summons us again."

Symbol

Simile

Personification

Allusion

Answer 1

The answer is Allusion

Answer 2

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the third option. It is personification that is the type of figurative language used by John F. Kennedy. He gave human-like characteristic to the trumpet which originally is nonliving. This is a characteristic of a personification. Hope this answers the question.
