GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Hyperbole

Explanation:

A hyperbole is an intentional exaggeration or adding emphasis to an action. It is used to make a point bigger or better than it actually is and makes it more dramatic.

In this scenario the statement - 'I was on Today (a morning TV show) accused of killing the novel . . .'

Conveys that the writer was criticised for doing a bad job with the novel.

Using the word killing adds emphasis to the how bad the work on the novel was.

In this instance the writer does not mean he actually killed the book, but he said it to give a picture of the extent to which the book was negatively impacted by Jame's action.

Answer:

Iron Maiden's reference to the line from Shakespeare's play is an example of:

B. literary allusion.

Explanation:

<u>The figure of speech known as allusion happens when an author references to something or someone, but in an indirect manner. </u>For instance, suppose you are writing an essay about kindness and selflessness. If you call someone a good Samaritan, you are alluding to a biblical character known for his kindness. When making an allusion, just like that one, the author expects the reader or listener to know what he is talking about. You do not explain what a good Samaritan is, since you expect your readers to know about the biblical story.

<u>That is what we have in Iron Maiden's song: a literary allusion. The composer of the lyrics used lines from Shakespeare's play, from a literary work. He does not explain them, but he expects his listeners to know what he is referencing to.</u>
