These sentences use a figure of speech known as metonymy. When we use the
name of one thing to stand for something closely related to it, that is
metonymy. "I love to read Shakespeare" really means "... to read Shakes-
peare'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.
"Don't leave this 'room'," said Steven.
a. Yes, metonymy
