Answer 1

Sound or musical elements of poetry may include all but metaphor. Option B is correct.

Metaphors are typically employed in poetry, as well as literature.

A metaphor is defined as a literary device, a figure of speech that illustrates and describes an object or action in a way that isn’t literally true, but helps convey an idea or make a comparison. A metaphor states that one thing is another thing.

Answer 2

Sound or musical elements of poetry may include all but "metaphor" since this option is the only one that doesn't involve inflections of the tongue and mouth that lead to tones or sounds.
