Question

What figure of speech is used in this line from Walt Whitman's poem "I Hear America Singing"?

I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear

anaphora
personification
onomatopoeia
alliteration
antithesis

Answer 1

let's go through them one by one:
anaphora: repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of a clause/end of a clause
personification: attribution of humanlike qualities to non human objects
onomatopoeia: using a word that represents the sound associated with it (like boom or sizzle)
alliteration: repetition of the same consonant sound in multiple repeated words (ex. happy hapless happenstance)
antithesis: contrast between two things

there's only one that matches (well, sort of) the original sentence. which one do you think it is?
