every moment in the grass was a lion stalking every stillness a lion wait to spring what figure language is it

A. Metaphor

Explanation:

"Every movement in the grass was a lion stalking every stillness a lion waiting to spring" is a Metaphor.

A metaphor is a figure of speech which usually refers directly to something by mentioning another. When something is metaphorical, we use it to symbolize another thing.

In the above figurative statement, "every movement" was used to symbolize or infer "the lion's stalking" and "every stillness" symbolizes "a lion waiting to spring".

Therefore, option A is the correct answer.

the sentence does not violate the phrase structure second rule (introduced by noam chomsky) because noun phrases consist of a determiner such as a, the or every, and a noun. in the sentence, the noun phrase the cake includes a determiner (the) and a noun (cake).

on the other hand, the first rule indicates that a sentence encloses a noun phrase, followed by a verb phrase. the example sentence can be analysed as follows:

john (n) + ate (v) + the (det) + cake (n).

abater   ambary   ambery   baryta   baryte   bemata   betray   jarvey   ramate   ramjet
