A flowery band to bind us to the earth

  • (A) A hyperbole
  • (B) A metaphor

  • (D) An epithet
Correct Answer: (B) A metaphor
View Solution



The lines are excerpted from John Keats' poem "A Thing of Beauty".


The phrase "wreathing a flowery band" refers to the act of creating beautiful memories and connections.


The "flowery band" is not a literal object but a representation of the sweet things in life that bind humans to existence.


This direct comparison of beautiful life experiences to a physical band, without using "like" or "as", is a literary device known as a metaphor.


Therefore, option (B) is the correct identification of the figure of speech.
Quick Tip: A Metaphor asserts that one thing \textbf{is} another (e.g., "Life is a journey"), while a Simile uses "like" or "as" (e.g., "Life is like a box of chocolates").


Question 2:

Which of the following is the correct syllable division for the given word? Choose the correct answer.

Personification

  • (A) per-soni-fi-ca-tion
  • (B) per-son-i-fi-ca-tion
  • (C) per-so-ni-fi-ca-tion
  • (D) per-so-nif-i-ca-tion
Correct Answer: (B) per-son-i-fi-ca-tion
View Solution



Syllabification divides a word into units of sound, each containing a single vowel sound.


The word "Personification" contains six distinct vowel sounds.


We start with the root word "Person", which divides as "per-son".


The suffix and connecting vowels are then divided as "i-fi-ca-tion".


Combining these parts yields the standard dictionary syllabification: per-son-i-fi-ca-tion.


Option (B) correctly reflects this division.
Quick Tip: A good rule of thumb for syllabification is to look for the root word (here, "person") and separate prefixes and suffixes. Also, every syllable must have a vowel sound.
