The answer is a simile. This is because similes compare two things (these things here are his life and the dusty yards) by using like or as (specifically here as).

The other ones don't make sense: nothing is being over exaggerated (hyperbole), there are no repeating consonants (alliteration), and there are no human characteristics being given to inhuman subjects (personification).

hjlf

Answer:

MAcGonigal shows how remarkable it is that society spends more time in a virtual world in a game, than in a real world.

Explanation:

He says that this happens because the real world is unsatisfactory and does not present rewards that leave individuals motivated to look for solutions and innovations for him, since the virtual environment seems much more promising and does not promote the individual's feeling of feeling like a failure within a disturbed and disturbing world. In other words, the real world is demotivating and makes us bad people because of that, unlike the virtual world that is stimulating and always makes us look for the best.
