Choose the option that correctly identifies the figure of speech used…

The correct answer is Option (3) → Personification

The lines open John Donne's poem "The Sun Rising", in which the speaker scolds the sun for waking him and his beloved. Here the sun is spoken to as if it were a person: it is called a "busy old fool" and "unruly", it is questioned ("Why dost thou thus"), and it is said to "call on us" through windows and curtains like a meddling visitor.

Option	What it is	Example
(1) Metaphor	A metaphor says that one thing is another, without "like" or "as". Calling the sun a "fool" is part of treating it as a person who can be scolded and questioned, which is personification.	The classroom was a zoo before the teacher arrived.
(2) Enjambment	the running on of a sentence from one line of verse into the next without a pause. It is a feature of the arrangement of lines, not a figure of speech, and it does not describe how the sun is treated here.	–
(3) Personification (answer)	Personification gives human qualities, feelings or actions to something that is not human. Deciding clue: the sun is addressed and scolded as "Busy old fool".	The old house groaned in the storm.
(4) Synecdoche	Synecdoche uses a part to stand for the whole, or the whole for a part. The sun is named as itself, not through a part.	The captain called all hands on deck.
