Answer: A) hyperbole.

Explanation: A hyperbole is a type of figurative language that consists in exaggerating an event or a statement. In the given dialogue between Anna and Joseph, we can see an example of hyperbole in the phrase "We have walked so long that I fear my feet will fall right off," in this sentence, Anna is clearly exaggerating to express that she is very tired of walking. So the correct answer is option A.

Which words and phrases in these lines reveal Juvencio's main motivation throughout the story? What does this language tell read
PSYCHO15rus [73]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you did not attach the text or the excerpt to know what those lines say.

However, we can help you with the following general comment.

The words and phrases that the author uses describing the motives of Juvencio, when he killed Don Lupe, reveals that Juvencio has no remorse for what he did because it was not for personal reasons. It was for "business reasons." This sounds ironic because, in the end, he killed, but deep in Juvencio´s mind there is a difference between personal reasons and a decision that is forced for "business purposes."

Juvencio says DonLuped did not allow him to pasture his animals in Don Lupe's field. And that was necessary for the animals to survive and feed Juvencio.

Mexican writer Juan Rulfo is the author of the story "Tell Them Not to Kill Me."
