Which of the following is not a rhetorical device?

Metaphor
Simile
Alliteration
Brevity

1 answer

Brevity is not typically considered a rhetorical device. The other options—metaphor, simile, and alliteration—are all recognized as rhetorical devices used to enhance language and persuade or convey meaning in writing and speech. Brevity refers to the quality of being brief or concise, rather than a specific rhetorical technique.
