Sample questions from this paper

  1. English Language · Poetry, Prosody & Figures of Speech · medium

    Identify the figure of speech: 'What a fine morning for the harvest,' said the farmer, as the rain swept across his flooded field.

    • Aeuphemism
    • Bmetonymy
    • Capostrophe
    • Dverbal irony

    Explanation

    The speaker's words say the opposite of what the situation shows, and the gap between them is verbal irony. A euphemism would soften an unpleasant fact rather than reverse it.
