The phrase 'like a shady grove' is-

  • A.a metaphor
  • B.a simile
  • C.an example of alliteration
  • D.a personification

Answer: B

The phrase 'like a shady grove' is a simile.

A simile compares two unlike things directly, using 'like' or 'as'. Here the child's dark body is compared with a shady grove through the word 'like'.

A metaphor makes the comparison without 'like' or 'as' (saying one thing is another). Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds, and personification gives human qualities to something non-human; neither describes this phrase.
