Consider line 3 of the poem:
"The night whispered secrets to the sleeping hills."
Identify the figurative language used in this line and explain its effect on the poem's mood.
Answer Options
A.
The line uses alliteration - the repeated 's' sounds in "sleeping hills" emphasize sound. This alliteration adds a musical quality, giving the poem a lively, upbeat mood.
B.
The line uses metaphor - the night is compared directly to a whispering voice. This metaphor suggests the night is a messenger, creating a calm and reassuring mood in the poem.
Correct Answer
C.
The line uses personification - the night is given the human action of whispering. This personification makes the night seem alive and secretive, producing a mysterious, intimate mood in the poem.
D.
The line uses hyperbole - claiming the night whispers secrets exaggerates its quietness. This hyperbole heightens drama, resulting in an intense, aggressive mood.
