Which figure of speech appears in 'Her words were a knife'?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Metaphor
- Step 1: The sentence says the words ARE a knife, a direct identification. Step 2. Words are not literally a knife, so the image shows they are sharp and hurtful. Answer: metaphor. Why not the others: A simile would say 'like a knife', there is no repeated sound, and the speaker does not mean the opposite.
