Q1Match the clue with the device: 1. repeated vowel sound 2. human quality to non-human 3. comparison with as 4. matching end sound.

A 1-Assonance, 2-Personification, 3-Simile, 4-Rhyme
B 1-Alliteration, 2-Metaphor, 3-Rhyme, 4-Simile
C 1-Rhyme, 2-Assonance, 3-Personification, 4-Alliteration
D 1-Metaphor, 2-Simile, 3-Alliteration, 4-Assonance
Explanation

This hard item checks the six-box revision grid. Meena should map repeated vowel sound to assonance, human quality to personification, comparison with as to simile, and matching end sound to rhyme. The wrong options are attractive because they mix sound and meaning labels.

Q2Assertion: "The classroom was a beehive" is metaphor. Reason: It compares the classroom to a beehive without using like or as.

A Assertion false, Reason true
B Both true, but Reason does not explain Assertion
C Both false
D Both true, and Reason explains Assertion
Explanation

The assertion and reason fit together. Karan should see that a metaphor can compare two unlike things, but it does so directly. The reason names the exact test: no like or as. That is why option D is stronger than a general true-true choice.

Q3Asha reads: "The lonely lamp waited by the door." Which device is most direct?

A Personification
B Simile
C Rhyme
D Assonance
Explanation

Asha should choose personification because the answer depends on the clue word waited. The lamp cannot literally wait like a person, so the poem gives a non-human object a human action. The other options describe comparison or sound, which the stem does not foreground.

Q4Which device is shown in "brown bees buzzed beside the bush"?

A Assonance
B Alliteration
C Metaphor
D Personification
Explanation

The b sound in brown, bees, buzzed, beside, and bush is the evidence. Asha should not be distracted by the busy image of bees. The item tests repeated initial consonant sound, so alliteration is the most direct label.

Q5Choose the correct pair for Meena: I. "The stars are lamps" - metaphor. II. "The stars are like lamps" - simile.

A I wrong, II wrong
B I right, II wrong
C I wrong, II right
D I right, II right
Explanation

Meena should use the marker test. The first line says the stars are lamps, making a direct comparison; that is metaphor. The second line adds like, so it becomes simile. The pair is useful because the image stays similar while the device changes.
