Answer:

The best answer is: "B. Hyperbole".

Explanation:

Letter B is the best answer because there is a high exaggeration for describing the environment, such as by the use of long and detailed words for only one place the tenant man is looking about. The man describes the place by reminding past events and memories, which emphasizes his feelings and thoughts about what he is looking for. Letter A is not possible because it is not a understatement, it is the contrary ideia for that. Letter C is also not possible because there are alliteration in the words chosen, however they differ from each other and gets to produce real alliteration only in some parts of the passage. Then, letter D is also not possible because there is no parallelism in the passage.

Read this excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass.
fiasKO [112]
<h3>Answer: Choice D</h3>

...he that was strongest secured the best place; and few left the trough satisfied

============================================================

Explanation:

Frederick Douglass is describing the horrific conditions of what kind of food he ate and the conditions in which he had his meals. At the start of the paragraph, he describes the food itself (a corn meal called Mush). Then later on he describes how the food was served in a very degrading inhumane way (the food being served in a trough; effectively treating them as animals). Shortly after, he goes over how the food was eaten through a variety of means: use of oyster shells, shingles, or bare hands. None of which involves the regular utensils you'd expect such as a spoon.

At the very end of the excerpt, Frederick Douglass mentions that "He that ate the fastest got most; he was strongest secured the best place; and few left the trough satisfied". This effectively means that even though the food itself was horrible, and the conditions degrading, people were still hungry and had no other choice. Also, even the people who were able to eat the most weren't truly/fully fed.

So in short, the last part of the excerpt describes that the slaves weren't fed enough. If we could narrow down the cited evidence as much as possible, the portion that mentions "few left the trough satisfied" is the thing you should focus on.
