Answer:

C) hyperbole

Explanation:

A hyperbole is a type of rhetorical device or figure of speech that describes something by exaggerating it. The main reason why an author might employ such a device is because he wants a word or a certain description to be dramatic and have a lot of impact. In this case, the author says that his father fought "a couple of million fires." This is an example of hyperbole, as the number is certainly an exaggeration, and is instead intended to create a dramatic effect.

The internal conflict that is faced by Walter in the excerpt given is C. He wants to be seen and valued.

<h3>What is conflict?</h3>

It should be noted that conflict simply means a literary device that is characterized by the struggle between two opposing forces.

Mama's internal conflict is that she is unsure of how she feels about the inheritance check. The conflict demonstrated in this passage is External: Character vs. Character. In this case, Mama was having a disagreement with Ruth.

Also, the conflict experienced by the younger family is External: Character vs. Society. Here, Lindner's comment was about the incidents which have happened in various parts of the city when colored people have moved into certain areas.

Lastly, the thing that Walter’s comments reveal most about his character is that he feels stifled and unable to care for his family.
