List-I	List-II	Explanation
(A) Metaphor	(IV) For Grandpa, his small kitchen garden is a medicine chest that never runs empty.	A metaphor says that one thing is another, without “like” or “as”. The kitchen garden is called “a medicine chest” because its plants help keep the family healthy.
(B) Personification	(I) On the first cold morning of December, the lazy sun stayed in bed till nine.	Personification gives human qualities or actions to a thing, an animal or an idea. The sun is “lazy” and it “stayed in bed”, as a sleepy person would.
(C) Alliteration	(III) Mohan’s mother made masala Maggi for the midnight match.	Alliteration is the same first sound repeated in words that are close together. The “m” sound opens “Mohan’s”, “mother”, “made”, “masala”, “Maggi”, “midnight” and “match”.
(D) Synecdoche	(II) After the cyclone, fifty families in the fishing village were left without a roof.	In synecdoche, a part stands for the whole. A roof is only one part of a house, but here “a roof” stands for the whole home.
