Answer:

A. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height / My soul can reach.

Explanation:

A hyperbole is a literary device used by writers and authors in representing or comparing things that are an exaggerated form of claims/ statements. These exaggerated comparisons are impossible to be seen or done in real life.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning in her poem "How Do I Love Thee?" is about a woman's love for someone. This love is not measures in degrees, the quantity of her expression but rather in the quality of her expression. When she writes/ says "<em>I love thee to the depth and breadth and height/ My soul can reach</em>" she is exaggerating the love she had for him. There is no possibility ever to see how far a person's soul can reach, nor is it possible or will ever happen. So, this is a case of a hyperbole in use.

antiseptic1488 [7]

The imagery shows that Thomas is a very dreamy character with great imagination.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • "This Is What It Means to Say Phoenix, Arizona," tells of Victor and Thomas' journey to Arizona so that Victor can pick up his father's ashes.
  • Victor didn't want to do this alone and that's why he called Thomas who is a great friend.
  • This journey marks Victor's rebirth, as he finds out more about himself and what he wants.
  • But it is also a revealing journey for Thomas who is very dreamy and can give wings to his imagination.

This imagination of Thomas can be seen in the use of imagery as Victor's father's ashes are thrown into the sea. That's because Thomas transforms this moment into something very special, poetic, and meaningful.
