Which metaphor is used to emphasize how deeply the poet's love is felt, comparing it to something tightly tied?

• A. Knot
• B. Rope
• C. Chain
• D. Thread

Answer: (A)

Expressing how deeply the poet’s love is felt through binding imagery is being tested. A knot communicates a love that is tightly bound and enduring, suggesting it’s secured and not easily loosened. In poetry, such a metaphor emphasizes permanence and commitment. Rope conveys strength but doesn’t inherently signal the intimate sense of a single, indivisible tie; chain can imply a heavy or restrictive bond; thread hints at fragility and the possibility of unraveling. So the knot best captures the idea of a love felt so deeply that it is securely tied.
