In his poor Richard's almanac, Ben Franklin says that He who lives upon hope will die fasting. What that means is that one shouldn't just live life hoping for great things, he should actually do something about creating them.

<em>Poor Richard's Almanac</em> was an almanac published by Benjamin Franklin from 1732 to 1758. It was extremely popular and widely read.

In this almanac, Benjamin Franklin includes an aphorism that states that the person who lives upon hope dies fasting. This means that one should not rely on hope alone, always wishing something was different. Instead, one should be content with the present.

Answer:

Metaphor.

Explanation:

Metaphor is elucidated as the literary device that includes a comparison of two distinct and literally inapplicable ideas to invoke an implied similarity between them that assists in explaining or clarifying the idea.

In the given example, the use of 'cup' to describe 'endurance', 'abyss' to 'injustice', 'bleakness and corroding' to depict the 'despair' exemplify the unrelated, literally inapplicable, and implied comparison to reveal the similarities between them that helps the author to clarify the idea more effectively. Thus, <u>'metaphor'</u> is the correct answer.
