HELP PLEASE, 50 POINTS I love to read "Shakespeare."
I put a lot of "sweat" into this assignment.
These sentences use a figure of speech known as metonymy. When we use the
name of one thing to stand for something else closely related to it, that
is metonymy. "I love to read Shakespeare" really means "... to read
Shakespeare's plays and poems." "I put a lot of sweat into this assignment"
really means "... a lot of hard work ..." Read the following sentence and
decide if the word or phrase in quotes is an example of metonymy:
"Buckingham Palace" announced the queen's plans.
a. Yes, metonymy
b. No
