Which literary device has been used in the following line?
"But still, like air, I'll rise."
Answer: B
The device is a simile.
The line compares the speaker's rising to air using the word like: 'like air, I'll rise'. A comparison made explicit with 'like' or 'as' is a simile.
A metaphor makes the comparison without 'like' or 'as' (for example 'I am air'). An oxymoron joins two contradictory words, such as 'deafening silence', and metonymy names something by a thing closely associated with it, such as 'the crown' for a monarch.
