Answer:

Metaphor.

Explanation:

Metaphor is a literary figurative device/ language used by writers in making comparisons between two things, which may not be literally applicable for the issue addressed. But this comparison makes it more understandable or easier to comprehend.

In his "Letter from Birmingham Jail" of 1963, Martin Luther King used this metaphorical speech to address the issue of racial discrimination that his people are facing. He states that it will be "easy" for anyone who has never experienced the prejudice his people suffered, to say that the issue of racial "<em>segregation</em>" can be let alone and more important matters to be worked on. He compares this racial discrimination with that of a "<em>stinging dart</em>" which hits hard and stings everything it hits.

I could not find the excerpt that is missing in your question but I have found the possible answers to it.

  • ''The £1,000,000 Bank-Note" is published in 1893. year and it is a short story located in Victorian London written by Mark Twain.
  • Hyperbole is a rhetorical device that can be used in poetry and oratory where it can create strong feelings and impressions. The main key that is representing a hyperbole in these two sentences is '' droves'' and ''forever''.

The meaning of hyperbole is not taken literally in many texts because of its meaning that often sounds bigger and better than it actually is.
