What literary devices are used in the sentences below

English
1 answer:
aleksandr82 [10.1K]1 year ago
3 0

The literary device used in the first sentence is a hyperbole or exaggeration, whereas the second sentence uses an oxymoron, as further explained below.

<h3>What is a hyperbole?</h3>

A hyperbole is a literary device that exaggerates something in order to emphasize an idea. In the first sentence we are analyzing here, the hyperbole is found in "a ton of snow." The speaker wishes to emphasize the idea that there was a lot of snow on his car. However, it would be impossible for there to be indeed a ton of it.

<h3>What is an oxymoron?</h3>

The literary device known as oxymoron consists of putting together two words with opposite meanings. In the second sentence, the oxymoron is found in "genuine imitation." If something is genuine, that means it is not fake, not an imitation. So, technically, the two words do not go together.

With the information above in mind, we can conclude that the answer provided above is correct.

AysviL [449]

Answer:

A. Tessie Hutchinson is in conflict with the society.

Explanation:

A conflict in this case is the disagreement between two or more people on a particular point of view.  Tessie Hutchinson does not believe that the time frame given to Mr. Hutchinson to take his papers was ideal or fair enough. This is in contrast to the viewpoint of every other person, including Mr. Hutchinson who tells Tessie to 'shut up'. While Mrs Delacroix tells Tessie to 'be a good sport', Mrs Grace pointed out that, 'every other person was given the same chance'.  

So, the society here composed of the greater number of people are in disagreement with Tessie. So, we can say that Tessie is in conflict with the society.
