In frosts poem "mending wall" the line "i see him there /bringing a stone grasped firmly by the top/ in each hand, like an old-savage armed" uses which poetic device?

a. simile
b. metaphor
c. alliteration
d. personification

idk

explanation:

in my opinion i think it was not excessive at all. the maids turned against the queen in his absence, how could he ever trust them again? if he let them go they would surely spread the news of the suitor's deaths, which is much too risky. as for the suitors, they were selfish, rude, and greedy. the god's had apparently marked them for death, meaning odysseus made their death come faster.

c. "but thy eternal summer shall not fade" (line 9)
