Question

What is the type of figurative language used in the following statement?

"I have a vivid recollection of the linsey-woolsey dress given me every winter by Mrs.Flint. How I hated it! It was one of the badges of slavery."
A. Simile
B. Onomatopoeia
C. Metaphor
D. Assonance
E. Rhyme

Answer 1

It can’t be a smilie because nothing is being compared using like or as. It can’t be onomatopoeia because the following words is not used in that quotation, POW, WOW BOOM etc. It can’t be metaphor because nothing is being compared without using like or as, and it can’t be rhyme because nothing in here is being rhymed so it has to be Assonance.
