Question

by Gwendolyn Bennett

Her voice is like clear water

That drips upon a stone

In forests far and silent

Where Quiet plays alone.

Answer 1

The two types of figurative language used in the lines from "Fantasy" by Gwendolyn Bennett are:

1. Simile - The comparison of the voice to "clear water" is a simile, as it uses "like" to compare the voice to water.

2. Personification - The phrase "Where Quiet plays alone" gives human qualities to the abstract concept of Quiet, suggesting it can "play."

So, the correct responses are simile and personification.
