Read the given lines carefully and choose the option that correctly identifies the figure of speech used:-

Death, be not proud, though some have called thee

Mighty and dreadful, for thou are not so

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

The poet directly addresses 'Death' as though it were a person capable of hearing and being spoken to, even though it is an abstract concept. This direct address to an absent or non-human entity is called apostrophe, not metaphor, onomatopoeia, or metonymy.
