irony

euphemism

Answer explanation

Media Image

The correct answer is hyperbole. Hyperbole is a figure of speech that involves exaggeration for emphasis or dramatic effect. In this sentence, the speaker is using hyperbole to emphasize the fact that they have asked the person to stop many times. By saying "a thousand times," they are exaggerating the number of times they have made this request.

A traffic cop gets suspended for not paying his parking tickets

personification

irony

euphemism

assonance

Answer explanation

Media Image

The correct answer is irony because there is a contrast between the expected behavior of a traffic cop, who is supposed to enforce parking rules, and the fact that he himself is not paying his parking tickets. This situation is ironic because it goes against the expected or intended outcome. Irony often involves a discrepancy between what is expected and what actually happens.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

  •  

    "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?  Thou art more lovely and more temperate:"

simile

metaphor

euphemism

personification

Answer explanation

Media Image

The given answer, metaphor, is correct because the lines "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" and "Thou art more lovely and more temperate" are comparing the person being addressed to a summer's day without using "like" or "as." This comparison suggests that the person is even more beautiful and pleasant than a summer's day, emphasizing their attractiveness and positive qualities.
