Choose the figure of speech we find in the following line, He tries again
and the weapon explodes, shattering the silence, sending up a big puff of stinking
smoke.
A) alliteration
B) simile
C) metaphor
D) personification
There is no like or as for a simile and no objects are coming alive. The words don't use only one same letter for all of the sentences so it is not alliteration. Good luck and have a great day!
