Detailed explanation-1: -“I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” contains a number of similes and metaphors. The similes occur early in the poem (“as a cloud”; “as the stars”). After that the poem becomes more metaphorical. One of the most pervasive metaphors is that the flowers are dancing.
Detailed explanation-2: -The correct answer is Simile. A Simile is a literary device in with a word or phrase is used to compare or describe another thing. In Simile one thing is like the other, so the word “like” or “as” is used to show the comparison between two things.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: There are two similes used in this poem. “I wandered lonely as a cloud.” He compares his loneliness with a single cloud. The second is used in the opening line of the second stanza, “Continues as the stars that shine.” Here Wordsworth compares the endless row of daffodils with countless stars.
Detailed explanation-4: -Personification is also used in the 6 line “Fluttering and dancing in the breeze”-here as the daffodils are said to be dancing in the breeze, they referred to as a person. The poet personified daffodils are dancing as a man.
Detailed explanation-5: -The four six-line stanzas of this poem follow a quatrain-couplet rhyme scheme: ABABCC.
