Answer:

It's an overstatement

Explanation:

To overstate simply means to state something too strongly; in other words, to exaggerate.

In literature, overstatement are used as a technique to bring humor, and to lay emphasis on a certain point.

The following statement can be categorised as overstatements

"We were so wealthy that all poor people in the country relocated to our house to get their daily meals."

As illustrated above, the narrator described their wealth in a way that makes them seem more wealthier than they really are.

Luden [163]
If your options are: A) One day I had said that Italian seemed such an easy language to me that I could not take a great interest in it; everything was so easy to say. "Ah, yes," the major said. B) The girls at the Cova were very patriotic, and I found that the most patriotic people in Italy were the café girls—and I believe they are still patriotic. C) We were all a little detached, and there was nothing that held us together except that we met every afternoon at the hospital. D) It was warm, standing in front of her charcoal fire, and the chestnuts were warm afterward in your pocket. E) <span>The major, who had been a great fencer, did not believe in bravery, and spent much time while we sat in the machines correcting my grammar.

The correct answer is A, in my opinion. It doesn't talk about apathy (the loss of interest and psychological indifference to everything). It shows apathy in a dialogue between two people, thus proving that apathy has infused every single aspect of the soldiers' lives in Milan. The major's short answer "Ah, yes" also shows it. The two people talk about their lack of interest for Italian, and they are not even interested in this talk that they have.</span>

Sample Response: The theme of this poem is that we can only walk on one path; we cannot take both. We see this because the speaker says he doubted he would ever come back. This shows that one decision takes us away from the others we might have chosen.
