Solution
✅ Correct Option: 1
'As bright as the sun' is a direct comparison using 'as', a simile (A-II). 'She sells seashells' repeats initial consonant sounds, alliteration (B-III). The wind 'whispered' gives a human quality to nature, personification (C-I). 'Clearly confused' joins contradictory ideas, an oxymoron (D-IV). Hence A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV.
