  1. (1) Ka Alliteration
  2. (2) Ka Irony
  3. (3) Ka PersonificationCorrect answer
  4. (4) Ka Simili

Solution.

CBSE answer: (3)

Answer: (3) Ka Personification

  1. In these lines the wind whips (sympat) the trees, and the trees bend in fear (lynñiar da ka tieng).
  2. Whipping on purpose and feeling fear are human actions and feelings.
  3. Giving human qualities to non-human things is personification.

Trap: (4) a simile needs a comparison word such as 'kum' (like); none is used here.
