The right answer is this is an example of figurative language. Twain is here using figurative language - one that uses figures of speech - in order to be more persuasive, catch the reader's attention and interest, and, most importantly, provide him or her with an enjoyable experience. Specifically, I think he is using hyperbole, on the one hand, in order to emphasize, exaggerating it, his ability to remember, and paradox, or even sarcasm, on the other hand, since, how is it possible to remember something that <em>has not</em> happened? Twain is here trying to praise youth and the abilities that it certainly entails, but also to comment on the arrogance that it brings along. Mark Twain used hyperbole and other literary devices extensively in his novels and short stories, and, in doing so, he influenced several American authors of subsequent generations. One of his famous quotations reads: “I have seen this river so wide it had only one bank.”

Read this excerpt from "The Open Boat" by Stephen Crane: It is fair to say here that there was not a lifesaving station within t
love history [14]

Answer:

C.  Expressing criticism or contempt.

Explanation:

The word "opprobrious" means to criticize or say a bad word about a particular thing. It contains a negative meaning for the given word and is used as a means of expressing scorn or derogatory word about the thing.

In the given passage from <em>The Open Boat</em> by Stephen Crane, the four survivors of the shipwreck were on a lifeboat, hoping and looking for the sight of any help, land or people to be saved. And in their eagerness to be found, they were oblivious to the fact that there was no lifesaving station nearby. And as a result, they blamed the <em>"nation's lifesavers"</em> for their poor eyesight and their inability to see them struggle out in the sea. The author used the word <em>"opprobrious"</em> to state how the four men<u> criticized and expressed their negative feelings</u> about the inability of the men supposed to be out working to save any survivors out at sea.
