Choose the correct option of the figures of speech used in the given sentence:

Moon faced, wane and pale, she was telling a thousand stories.

A. Metaphor

B. Personification

C. Oxymoron

D. Hyperbole

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

"Moon faced" compares her face to the moon without using "like" or "as", so it is a metaphor. "A thousand stories" is an exaggeration, so it is hyperbole. The sentence does not contain an oxymoron, and "she" is already a human being, so personification is not required.

Therefore, A and D only are present, which is Option 4.
