Question

Like summer tempest, came her tears : is an example of:

• A. metaphor
• B. simile
• C. hyperbole
• D. irony

Answer 1

Answer:

B. simile

The line “Like summer tempest, came her tears” uses the word “like” to make a comparison between her tears and a summer tempest (storm).

📌 Simile = a figure of speech that compares two unlike things using like or as.

Why the other options are wrong:

• ❌ Metaphor – comparison without like/as

• ❌ Hyperbole – exaggeration

• ❌ Irony – contrast between expectation and reality
