I'd say, the correct option to the first question is B. Argument:

It says that he could drink an entire river, eat a trillion beans and a silo full of grains. It was also said that he washed that all down with a cup of milk, AS IF HE WAS A DRAIN. So, in other words, he ate a lot to later just wash everything down with a cup of milk like a drain.

Therefore, the answer is:
B.



The second question shouldn't be too tricky:

The hyperbole is a type of figurative language that is used by the writer to exaggerate what wants to be said, and that is clearly what is being done.


Answer:
A.





Hope it helped,

What literary devices is Lee using when she has Scout describe Atticus’ trip to Montgomery by saying, The Governor was eager to
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Metaphor and allusion.  

These statements by Scout are significant for they show how the political upheaval during the racism and poverty of the Great Depression had affected the people of Maycomb and particularly the whole of Alabama.

Explanation:

Harper Lee's famous novel "To Kill A Mockingbird" revolves around the lives of the people in the South during the racial prejudice. The main protagonist Scout Finch and her family The Finches showed the true nature of things, also allowing us to see the society from the eyes of a little girl.

The excerpt given in the question is from Chapter XII of the text where Atticus had gone to Birmingham to attend the legislature of which he was a member. These lines spoken by Jean Louise 'Scout' Finch contains an allusion and even a metaphor in it. The use of these literary devices is to show how the lives of the people especially in her place of Maycomb, Alabama, were greatly affected by the Great Depression.

Alluding to the Birmingham strike, she gave details of just how the Birmingham strikes that protests against the racial discrimination, the poverty situation and almost all social issues, led to the upheaval in the state of Alabama. Thus, the use of allusions and metaphors by Scout shows the situation of the place during those times.

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Foreshadowing

Explanation:

Foreshadowing is a literary technique whereby an author provides a hint of what is to happen later in the story. At the end of the story, "To Build a Fire," the man who sojourned in the Yukon trail died in the cold. Foreshadowing occurred earlier in the passage when the old-timer on Sulphur Creek gave the advice to travel with a partner. It was as if he knew in advance that the man could die from the cold if circulation was not restored when the temperature was seventy-five below. Unfortunately, when the man was being frozen by the cold, he recalled that advice.
