Blow, blow, thou winter wind Thou art not so unkind As man's ingratitude; Thy tooth is not so keen, Because thou art not seen, Although thy breath be rude. In the poem, the comparison of the wind to man's character is . an allusion an extended metaphor an inference a motif

B). An extended metaphor

Explanation:

The given excerpt has been taken from  William Shakespeare's 'Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind.' The poem explores the idea of life and foolishness. The speaker says that a fake friend is more harmful and causes more ache than the winter's harsh wind. He compares the wind to the character of such a friend to emphasize this idea. Thus, it would be considered as an extended metaphor as the comparison continues throughout the poem(the wind's bite is less fatal than the ingratitude of such a man,' like the wind's bite is not seen, similarly his friend has betrayed and frogot all the past favors). Thus, option B is the correct answer.

1. Allusion- B. Juliet: Else would I tear the cave where Echo lies, / And make her airy tongue more hoarse than mine...

2. Imagery- A. Romeo: The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars / As daylight doth a lamp.

3. Personification- C. Chorus: That fair for which love groan’d for and would die, / With tender Juliet match’d, is now not fair.

4. Foreshadowing - D. Friar Laurence: Therefore love moderately; long love doth so; / Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.

Explanation:

All of the quotes are from William Shakespeare's romantic tragedy "Romeo and Juliet" Act II.

1. Allusion is the indirect referencing of one hing to another. The referencing is made from an unrelated context with another.

Juliet: Else would I tear the cave where Echo lies, / And make her airy tongue more hoarse than mine...

The allusion in this play is seen in Act II scene ii where Juliet refers to the act of waking up echo until it shouts Romeo's name and its voice becomes hoarse.

2. Imagery is the visually descriptive way of picturing or giving images to a literary work. This can be achieved through the author's use of vivid and imaginative description in his their work. This example can be seen in Act II scene ii of the play where Romeo praises Juliet, admitting that her cheeks' brightness will shine brighter than the stars, just like the sun outshone the lamp.

Romeo: The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars / As daylight doth a lamp.

3. Personification is the giving of human attributes to an abstract or non human ideas and elements. Act II prologue where the chorus describes the love stricken Romeo is an example of personification. The old desire is given a human quality.

Chorus: That fair for which love groan’d for and would die, / With tender Juliet match’d, is now not fair.

4. Foreshadowing is the suspense, the prediction for something that will happen in the coming scenes, which is not yet happening but is referred to by the characters. Act II scene vi shows the speech of Friar Laurence where he comments on the effects of loving fast. He says that to "love moderately" is to love long while "too swift arrives as tardy as too slow".

Friar Laurence: Therefore love moderately; long love doth so; / Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
