Find the figure of speech of the following sentence: "My blood turned cold like the moon".

AMetaphor

BSimile

CPersonification

DOxymoron

Answer:

B. Simile

Read Explanation:

  • "Like" അല്ലെങ്കിൽ "as" ഉപയോഗിച്ച് രണ്ട് വ്യത്യസ്ത കാര്യങ്ങളെ നേരിട്ട് താരതമ്യം ചെയ്യുന്ന ഒരു figure of speech ആണ് simile. In this sentence, "My blood turned cold like the moon," the comparison between "blood turning cold" and "the moon" is made using "like," making it a simile.
    • My blood turned cold like the moon / എൻ്റെ രക്തം ചന്ദ്രനെപ്പോലെ തണുത്തു
  • Metaphor - Make an implicit comparison by saying that one thing is another thing, without using "like" or "as" ("like" അല്ലെങ്കിൽ "as" ഉപയോഗിക്കാതെ ഒരു കാര്യം മറ്റൊന്നാണെന്ന് പറഞ്ഞ് താരതമ്യം നടത്തുക).
  • Personification is giving human characteristics to non-human things. (മനുഷ്യേതര കാര്യങ്ങൾക്ക് മാനുഷിക സ്വഭാവം നൽകുന്നു).
  • An oxymoron is a figure of speech that combines contradictory terms, like "False truth (തെറ്റായ സത്യം)." / പരസ്പരം വൈരുധ്യം ഉള്ള പദങ്ങൽ കൂട്ടി പ്രയോഗിക്കൽ
