Answer 1

Answer:

The figure of speech used in the excerpt "Freezing persons, recollect the Snow" from "After Great Pain, A Formal Feeling Comes" by Emily Dickinson is a metaphor. The line is comparing people who are emotionally frozen or numb from pain to people who are physically freezing in the snow. This comparison is made directly, without using words like "as" or "like," which are typically used in similes. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Metaphor.

Answer 2

The passage from Emily Dickinson's "After Great Pain, A Formal Feeling Comes" employs personification as a literary element.

Dickinson personifies the formality sense in the line "a formal feeling comes," giving it human traits. She gives a sensation a sense of personhood by granting it the capacity to arise and connecting it with formality. This personification makes the formal feeling more real and vivid for readers by aiding in the emotional impact of the writing.
