Question: 1 / 400

What is the literary device known as anastrophe?

The use of a metaphor to describe an abstract concept

The use of a word different from the one that is normally used

The reordering of conventional word order

Anastrophe is a literary device that involves unconventional word order in a sentence. This means that the order in which words are typically structured is changed for effect. Option A is incorrect because that describes a metaphor, which is not directly related to anastrophe. Option B is incorrect because it describes a different literary device called metonymy, which is also not directly related to anastrophe. Option D is incorrect because it describes the inversion of sentence parts, which is a broader concept that does not specifically pertain to the use of anastrophe. Therefore, the correct answer is C as it accurately defines anastrophe as the reordering of conventional word order in a sentence.
