1. Lines 235-261 contain examples of all of the following EXCEPT
(1 Point)
Personification - "Touch me not so near" (235)
Hyperbole - "I had rather cut this tongue from my mouth / Shall nothing wrong him" (236-237)
Dramatic Irony - "Yet I persuade myself to speak the truth / Shall nothing wrong him" (238-239)
Euphemism - "And Cassio high in oath, which 'til tonight / I never might say before" (250-251)

Personification- "Touch me not so near."

Explanation:

The given excerpts are taken from the play "Othello" written by William Shakespeare. The story is a rendition of 'A Moorish Captain' written by Cinthio.

From the given options the one that is not a correct example is first, personification.

Personification is a rhetorical device that is used to attribute human characteristics to a non-living object. The sentence is said by Iago to Montano. Iago in this line is asking Montano to stop accusing him of being an unfaithful soldier. Thus, it is not a personification literary device.

So, the correct answer is the first option.
