MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

15 mins • 1 pt



I’ll tell you how the sun rose— 

A ribbon at a time. 

The steeples swam in amethyst, 

The news like squirrels ran. 


The hills untied their bonnets, 

The bobolinks begun. 

Then I said softly to myself, 

“That must have been the sun!” 


But how he set, I know not.

There seemed a purple stile

Which little yellow boys and girls

Were climbing all the while


Till when they reached the other side,

A dominie in gray

Put gently up the evening bars,

And led the flock away.

*dominie – a minister or priest

In line 4 there is an example of

simile

metaphor

alliteration

hyperbole
