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

Explanation:

The word Hustler is actually a word usually used by Nigerians

Hustler is one who differs all odds just to make a living or make little money for survival. We all look for money but just that some people go extreme or work harder for it.

A quitter is one who stops chasing his or her dreams after exhaustion but one who never quits will definitely go through all odds like the quitter but has the courage to continue and will surely make it or win.

We all ordinary people, but those who work harder aren't they excel.

I hope it helps out.
