Answer and Solution

Answer

A. Metaphor

Solution:

The correct answer is 'Metaphor' (option 1) as Keats likens the nightingale’s qualities to those that embody immortality and timelessness. Simile (option 2) is not intended here, while personification (option 3) does play a role in the portrayal, but metaphor is the primary device utilized to convey this theme.
