Answer:

B. Hyperbole

Explanation:

The excerpt provided is a figurative language which makes use figures of speech to achieve impact, persuasion and emphasis.

Alliteration, Hyperbole, Metaphor and Simile as all examples of figures of speech.

  1. Alliteration: places a number of words with similar consonant sounds to occur next to each other in a series etc. For example: A big bully beats a baby boy.
  2. Hyperbole: exaggerates on ideas to emphasis a situation. For example:  She has been dying to get a new shoe.
  3. Metaphor: makes use of a hidden comparison between two different things, two things that have nothing  in common but at the same time share same characteristics. For example: The news was music to my ears.
  4. Simile: makes direct comparisons between two unrelated things, by using  the words "like" and "as". For example: She is as large as life.

The excerpt provided there is no comparison but an exaggeration of facts as ostriches are said to gobble their food

What types of images does the speaker return to throughout "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock?"
Oxana [17]

Thomas Eliot works multiple themes in the poem, however in general, his usage of imagery mainly represents ageing and decay. In the lines "When the evening is spread out against the sky / Like a patient etherized upon a table", the phrases like "sawdust restaurants" and "cheap hotels," the yellow fog, and the afternoon "Asleep...tired... or it malingers", represent decay. The character's concerns about his hair and teeth which is mentioned in the lines "Combing the white hair of the waves blown back / When the wind blows the water white and black," show the problems about aging.
