Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: The poetic device used here is oxymoron. Oxymoron is an expression where apparently contradictory terms appear. Here they are ‘ quiet’ and ‘rage’.
Detailed explanation-2: -The oxymoron “quiet rage” suggests that autumn acts with silence, almost unnoticed by some but it affects the world in a massive way.
Detailed explanation-3: -"Oxymoron is the poetic device used in the line ‘In his quiet rage’"
Detailed explanation-4: -The use of ‘quiet rage’ symbolises the anger and ferocity that is building up inside the tiger as it wants to run out into the forest and attack a deer, but the rage is quiet because it cannot come out in the open as it is in the cage.
Detailed explanation-5: -Detailed Solution. The correct answer is ‘Alliteration’. Alliteration is the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words.
