I think that's hyperbole, because by saying " a thousand of sympathies" it's exaggerating.

Answer:

Hyperbole

Explanation:

Hyperbole is a figure of speech that consists of speaking or writing in an exaggerated manner usually to emphasize, add humor or gain attention on something. Words and phrases that are obviously false are common in this language. “A thousand sympathies,” then, is an example of hyperbole (hence, it should not be taken literally) used to emphasize the effect of someone's speech.

Read the passage from A Room of One’s Own.

Answer:

The underlined phrases suggest that men compete one another for fame.

Explanation:

This is because the text shows how the men urge to take the possession of the things they pass by, a woman, a dog or even a tombstone by writing their name on it. Their desire is not easy to resist and the women are not concerned as much the men are concerned with their fame while passing by anything or as such.
