Question

Read the quotation from "To My Dear Loving Husband."

Answer 1

Answer:

Choose C, but be prepared to see the answer as B. I'd argue a bit, but not much. It is pretty exaggerated, but it is also compared to something.

Explanation:

There is no part standing for the whole or no whole standing for a part. Not synecdoche.

Not a simile. No like or as.

Maybe a metaphor if you stretch it. Love is compared to a gold mine or the riches of the East.

I think the best answer is a hyperbole. It is an exaggerated comparison.

Answer: C

But don't be surprised if the answer turns out to be B.
