The firs three lines of "The Taxi" are:
When I go away from you
The world beats dead
Like a slackened drum.
Answer: B) Apostrophe and simile.
Explanation: an apostrophe is a figure of speech that consists in talking to someone who is not present or is dead, or to an inanimate object. A simile is also a figure of speech that consists in making a comparison between elements that aren't obviously related, this comparison is made using the words "like" and "as." The given lines of the poem "The Taxi" are an example of an apostrophe because the speaker is listening to the world (an inanimate object), and also of a simile that compares the world to a drum.
