What figures of speech do you find in Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening?Whose woods these are I think I know.   His house is in the village though;   He will not see me stopping here   To watch his woods fill up with snow.   My little horse must think it queer   To stop without a farmhouse near   Between the woods and frozen lake   The darkest evening of the year.   He gives his harness bells a shake   To ask if there is some mistake.   The only other sound’s the sweep   Of easy wind and downy flake.   The woods are lovely, dark and deep,   But I have promises to keep,   And miles to go before I sleep,   And miles to go before I sleep.Select one:a.simile and personificationb.onomatopoeia and metaphorc.personification and metaphord.simile and hyperboleClear my choice

Solution

The figures of speech found in "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" are personification and metaphor. So, the correct answer is c. personification and metaphor.

Personification is seen when the horse is given human characteristics, such as the ability to think something is queer. Metaphor is used when the journey and the promises the speaker has to keep are compared to the miles he has to go before he sleeps.
