Hi. You did not present the text and answer options that this question refers to. This makes it impossible for your question to be answered. However, when searching for your question on the internet, I found a question very similar to yours, which featured an excerpt from the novel "Iqbal ." This excerpt presents a dirty, inhospitable, unhappiness and suffocating setting, which is the place where Iqbal had to live together with other slave children. If this is your case, I hope the answer below will help you.
Answer:
According to the setting, we can have inferences that the story will be unpleasant, slow and dirty.
Explanation:
"Iqbal" is a book written by Francesco D'Adamo. This book presents the life of Iqbal, a boy who was forced to live as a slave in a carpet factory along with other children. All the children were crammed into a dirty, fetid, insect-filled, inhospitable cubicle. The setting shows how uncomfortable, unharmonious, suffocating and inappropriate this place was. The actions that take place in this place are slow and unhappiness, which makes the reader realize that this will be an unpleasant, slow and dirty story.
Answer:
It is a hyperbole that means that the author's eyes were wide with fear.
Explanation:
A hyperbole is an exaggeration to prove a point. For example: "I had a thousand pages of homework." You can't possibly have that much homework; it is exaggerated to show how much homework you have.
A simile is a comparison to another thing using the words "like" or "as." For example: "My pile of homework was as thick as a box."
An oxymoron is using two words together that contradict. For example: "My homework was finished at school." Normally people do homework at home, so it is contradictory(opposite) to do it at school. Another example is "the boiling hot ice." Usually ice is freezing cold, so it is contradictory for it to be hot.
Now that you know these figures of speech, we can answer the question. It's not a simile because it isn't comparing anything with the words "like" or "as." It's not an oxymoron because there is no contradictory statement. So, it is a hyperbole. It is exaggerating how far the person's eyes were sticking out.
