Which literary device has been used in the expression - 'Did shine like glistening gold' ?

  • A.Simile
  • B.Metaphor
  • C.Personification
  • D.Hyperbole

Answer: A

The device is a simile.

A simile compares two different things directly using 'like' or 'as'. 'Did shine like glistening gold' compares the shine of the young woman to that of gold with the word 'like'.

A metaphor makes the comparison without 'like' or 'as' ('she was gold'), personification gives human qualities to non-human things, and hyperbole is deliberate exaggeration.
