AfterBoards · Accepted Answer

Option 2 is correct. The sentence uses a simile indicated by the word 'like' comparing a beloved to a rose, and alliteration with the repetition of the 'r' sound in 'red red rose'. The other options incorrectly identify metaphors and other figures of speech not present in the sentence.
