  1. (1) Ka Alliteration
  2. (2) Ka Hyperbole
  3. (3) Ka Foreshadowing
  4. (4) Ka MetaphorCorrect answer

Solution.

CBSE answer: (4)

Answer: (4) Ka Metaphor

  1. The wind is said to sweep away (klun) all the dirt (duid) we have.
  2. There is no real broom and no real dirt: the dirt stands for the faults and filth in our lives and society, and the wind for a cleansing force.
  3. This direct, hidden comparison without 'kum' (like) is a metaphor.

Trap: (2) hyperbole can be argued from 'lut' (all), but the main device is the comparison of wind to a sweeper.
