Read the excerpt from Mark Twain's "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note". Well, I was perfectly honest and square with her; told her I hadn

't a cent in the world but just the million-pound note she'd heard so much talk about, and it didn't belong to me, and that started her curiosity; and then I talked low, and told her the whole history right from the start, and it nearly killed her laughing. What in the nation she could find to laugh about I couldn't see, but there it was; every half-minute some new detail would fetch her, and I would have to stop as much as a minute and a half to give her a chance to settle down again. Why, she laughed herself lame--she did, indeed; I never saw anything like it. I mean I never saw a painful story--a story of a person's troubles and worries and fears--produce just that kind of effect before. Which rhetorical device is demonstrated in the excerpt? A. hyperbole B. allusion C. metaphor D. oxymoron

Answer:

The answer is most likely C. There is no reference in the text about insects, no information related to Puerto Rico or Florida, and while only the male ones are specified which could make you think the answer is the one related to female ones there lacks anything saying that they aren't also a problem. It is also known fact that the coqui in Hawaii lack having natural predators and there is emphasis on them being the ones endangering others which should further prove C is the answer. Good luck!
