which poetic device is used in " a narrow street sealed in with a lead sky". ( from a elementary school classroom in a slum)
a) onomatopoeia
b) simile
c) personification
d) repetition
Dear Student,
The poetic device used in the line is Metaphor.
The “narrow street” and “the lead sky” are indicative of their restricted lives. Their freedom and imagination are contained in the narrow streets, which could also refer to the narrow mindedness of the people around them. The lead sky can be a reference to the restriction on their mental growth and personal development. These children, if forced to remain in the slum, won’t be able to grow beyond a point; their lives and dreams will be restricted under the lead sky.
This option is not provided here so maybe the question is wrong.
Regards
