Question 1 • CREDIT RECOVERY - ELA 9 - Summer

Read the excerpt below from act 2.1 of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar and answer the question that follows. BRUTUS:O then by dayWhere wilt thou find a cavern dark enoughTo mask thy monstrous visage? Seek none, conspiracy.Hide it in smiles and affability. Which form of figurative language is used in the bold lines of the above example?

Answer
A
personification
B
simile
C
plot
D
character

Explanation

Brutus speaks to the conspiracy as if it were a person who could hide its face and disguise itself with smiles. Giving a human action or quality to an idea is personification. The passage does not use “like” or “as” to make a comparison, so it is not a simile.
