Which of these is not a figure of speech?
- Simile
- Personification
- Irony
- Pronoun
Correct Answer

A. Pronoun

Explanation

A figure of speech is a word or phrase used in a non-literal way to create a specific effect. Simile, personification, and irony are all examples of figures of speech. Simile is a comparison using "like" or "as," personification gives human characteristics to non-human things, and irony is the use of words to convey a meaning that is opposite of its literal meaning. Pronoun, on the other hand, is a part of speech that replaces a noun in a sentence. It does not involve any figurative language or create any specific effect, making it the correct answer as it is not a figure of speech.

Which of these is not a figure of speech?
- Simile
- Personification

- Pronoun
Correct Answer

A. Pronoun

Explanation

A figure of speech is a word or phrase that is used in a non-literal way to create a specific effect or meaning. Simile, personification, and oxymoron are all examples of figures of speech. However, a pronoun is not a figure of speech. A pronoun is a word that is used to replace a noun in a sentence, such as "he," "she," or "it." Unlike simile, personification, and oxymoron, which are used to add depth and creativity to language, pronouns are used for grammatical purposes.
