Answer:
The type of figurative language used in the sentence is: parallelism.
Explanation:
We usually study parallelism as the consistent use of certain structures inside a sentence. But,<u> as a matter of fact, parallelism is also a figurative language. It is still connected to the repetition of grammatical structures, and it usually helps give the idea a certain flow or rhythm.</u>
In the sentence we are analyzing here, the repetition takes place in two clauses. That is, the second cause repeats the structure of the first one, which is something like:
superlative + noun + verb to be + too + adjective + for him
<em>The longest days were too short for him</em>
<em>The shortest nights (omitted) too long for him</em>
As we can see, the author did not think it necessary to repeat the verb, since it could be easily inferred. But the rest of the structure is exactly the same, creating parallelism.
C) "During the 1300s, a secret passage helped free an English king who was taken captive by his enemies."
Explanation:
<u>A topic sentence must convey the idea of the whole paragraph.</u> <u>In that sense the paragraph here works on the idea of secret passages being historically significant</u> in the important events that changed the course of history.
Thus either the first sentence of the paragraph or this sentence fit the description stated above. Out of all the options given this statement directly refers to the theme and thus is the topic sentence.
