विकल्प

• simile

• metaphor

• hyperbole

• personification

Answer 1

personification

Explanation:

The line “The welkin weeps to hear his screech” uses personification because the welkin (sky) is given the human quality of weeping. This humorous exaggeration emphasizes how unbearable Bhisma Lochan’s singing is.
