Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The phrase "I wandered lonely as a cloud" is an example of a simile. A simile is a figure of speech that compares two unlike things using the words "like" or "as." In this case, the speaker is comparing themselves to a cloud using "as," which indicates a simile. This expression emphasizes the solitude and emotional state of the speaker.
Thus, the correct answer is (a) Simile.
