I don’t see the example sentences to match. Please paste the examples and I’ll match them for you.
Meanwhile, here are quick definitions and identifying tips so you can match them yourself:
- Allusion: a brief reference to a person, place, event, or work of art/literature (e.g., “He was a real Romeo”). Look for an indirect reference to something outside the text.
- Anaphora: repetition of the same word or phrase at the beginning of successive clauses or sentences (e.g., “We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds…”).
- Metaphor: a direct comparison that says one thing is another (no like or as) (e.g., “Time is a thief”).
- Rhetorical question: a question asked for effect, not to get an answer (e.g., “Who doesn’t want to be happy?”).
Paste the examples and I’ll assign each term to the correct example.
