From the given options, select the figure of speech (Poetic Device) used in the expression -

Far fetched fantasies of a tender mind

Alliteration

The correct answer is OPTION 3 - Alliteration

Simile

A simile is a comparison between two different things using the words "like" or "as."

• Example: "Her smile was as bright as the sun."
• Inapplicable: The phrase "Far fetched fantasies of a tender mind" does not compare two things using "like" or "as," so it is not a simile.

Personification

Personification is when human traits, emotions, or actions are given to non-human things (animals, objects, or abstract concepts).

• Example: "The wind whispered through the trees."
• Inapplicable: In this expression, abstract concepts like "fantasies" or "mind" are not being given human qualities.

Alliteration

Alliteration is the repetition of the same consonant sound at the beginning of closely connected words.

• Example: "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers."
• Applicable: The repetition of the "f" sound in "Far fetched fantasies" makes this an example of alliteration.

Oxymoron

An oxymoron is a figure of speech in which two opposite or contradictory terms are placed together to create an effect.

• Example: "Deafening silence" or "Bittersweet."
• Inapplicable: The phrase "Far fetched fantasies of a tender mind" does not contain contradictory terms, so it is not an oxymoron.
