Detailed explanation-1: -Simile: Simile is a device used to compare one object to another to help readers understand or to clarify the meanings using ‘as’ or ‘like’. There are two similes used in this poem. “I wandered lonely as a cloud.” He compares his loneliness with a single cloud.
Detailed explanation-2: -“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-3: -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-4: -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.
