Question

“O Cassius, you are yoked with a lamb.”

Which of the following uses the same literary device as given above?

पर्याय

• The man fought as bravely as a lion.

• His voice is velvet.

• The sky was dotted with fluffy, white clouds.

• The juicy apple tasted sweet.

Answer 1

His voice is velvet.

Explanation:

“Yoked with a lamb” is a metaphor because Brutus is directly compared to a lamb without using “like” or “as.” “His voice is velvet” is also a metaphor. The first sentence contains a simile, while the other two are descriptive statements.
