Solution

The quote you provided is from William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet". In this quote, Romeo is comparing Juliet to the sun. This is a form of figurative language.

The options you provided are different types of figurative language:

a) Simile: A simile is a comparison using "like" or "as". b) Personification: Personification is giving human characteristics to non-human things. c) Allusion: An allusion is a reference to a well-known person, place, event, literary work, or work of art. d) Metaphor: A metaphor is a direct comparison between two unlike things.

In the quote, Romeo is not using "like" or "as" for the comparison, so it's not a simile. He's not giving human characteristics to a non-human thing, so it's not personification. He's not making a reference to a well-known person, place, event, literary work, or work of art, so it's not an allusion.

Therefore, the correct answer is d) Metaphor. Romeo is making a direct comparison between Juliet and the sun.
