Match the Expression given in List I with Figure of Speech given in List II
| List I (Expression) | List II (Figure of Speech) |
|---|---|
| A. The chocolate tasted like nectar | I. METAPHOR |
| B. The dark light was scary | II. OXYMORON |
| C. Going great guns | III. ALLITERATION |
| D. Young Major is the sunshine of the brigade | IV. SIMILE |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
'Chocolate tasted like nectar' uses 'like' for comparison, so it is a simile (A-IV). 'Dark light' combines contradictory terms, making it an oxymoron (B-II). 'Going great guns' repeats the 'g' sound, making it alliteration (C-III). 'Young Major is the sunshine of the brigade' equates a person to sunshine directly, making it a metaphor (D-I). This matches option 2.
