D

Transferred epithet

修辞

本题考查修辞手法。

A选项,Anticlimax,渐降法,将一系列词语由大到小、由强到弱地排列。综上,A选项正确。

B选项,pun, 双关,We must all hang together, or we shall all hang separately.我们必须团结在一起,不然我们将一个地被绞死。利用一词多义,第一个hang表示“团结”,第二个hang表示“绞死”。

C选项,Metaphor暗喻,故排除。

D选项,Transferred epithet移就,联觉,如a sweet voice一个甜嗓子(表示味觉的形容词转移到了听觉),不合题意,故排除。

故正确选项为A。
