Before answering the question, let us first explain what we understand for <u>figurative language.</u> It is the use of the language in any way that is not strictly literal. Even though it's often questioned how many "categories" of figurative language there are, it's safe to say there are at least six distinct categories. They are: metaphors, similes, personification, hyperbole, and symbolism, and irony.
In the excerpt shown, there present two of them, hyperbole and verbal Irony. The example for the hyperbole is this: <em><u>“with all the force in his body”</u></em> the reason for this is in the meaning of the sentence, it is an exaggeration, if you used literally all the force in your body, you would naturally faint or even die. The next example is for the verbal irony: <u><em>“an opportunity to reward me”</em></u> a reward was not really what the performer of the action was going to do, it was precisely the opposite, he was going to punish the man, and that is indeed the irony, the use of the opposite of any word that should be used.
The answer to this question is that the excerpt above is and example of:
hyperbole
figurative language
verbal irony
Since hyperbole and verbal irony are categories of figurative language, that, figurative language is also correct as an asnwer.
A simile is used in the line “Are frosted like a wedding-cake.”.
A simile is a comparison used with “like”, “as”, or “than”, and this line uses “like” to compare the snow-dusted tree, house, hill, and lake to a white-frosted wedding cake.
Social media plays a role in isolating teenagers by basically reducing actual social interaction such as hanging out with friends. This causes many problems such as being more introverted (not that there's a problem with that) and having less social skills in society. It will possibly make it harder for them to interact with people while being out in the world and having to do things on their own.
