From the given options, select the Figure of Speech (Poetic Device) used in the expression:

Dead wings carried like a paper kite

Simile

The correct answer is option 3 -  Simile

1. Simile (correct)

   • A simile is a figure of speech that compares two different things using the words "like" or "as."

   • In the phrase "Dead wings carried like a paper kite," the comparison between "dead wings" and "a paper kite" using the word "like" makes it a simile.

2. Personification (incorrect)

   • Personification is when human qualities are given to non-human things.

   • In this phrase, there is no human attribute given to "dead wings" or "paper kite," so it is not personification.

3. Metaphor (incorrect)

   • A metaphor is a direct comparison between two unrelated things without using "like" or "as."

   • If the phrase had been "Dead wings are a paper kite," it would be a metaphor, but since it uses "like," it is a simile, not a metaphor.

4. Pun (incorrect)

   • A pun is a play on words that exploits multiple meanings of a word or similar-sounding words for a humorous or rhetorical effect.

   • This phrase does not contain any wordplay or double meanings, so it is not a pun.
