Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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. The word is used in some form in every stanza of the poem (dancing, dance, danced, dances).
Detailed explanation-3: -What is the simile in the first verse? An: I wandered lonely as a cloud‟, is the simile in the first verse.
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: -Lines 1-2: The beginning of the poem makes a simile between the speaker’s wandering and the “lonely” distant movements of a single cloud. Clouds can’t be lonely, so we have another example of personification.
