C. Idiom

An idiom is when something is said, but is not supposed to be taken literally. Like, "I held my breath forever..." doesn't mean that they actually held their breath forever and isn't supposed to be taken literally. Some other examples are: raining cats and dogs, he got cold feet, etc.

Hope this helps! Good luck!! :D

Answer:

Hyperbole

Explanation:

In the sentence, we see the word "forever". Realistically, no one can hold their breath for forever. But that was an <em>exaggeration</em>. Hyperbole just means an exaggeration.

How do the events in this poem connect to the first poem we read, “1975: Year of the Cat,” and the title of the novel, Inside Ou
Serga [27]

Answer: The poem “1975: Year of the Cat”, is about a ten-year-old girl who has only known her hometown and is encouraged by her family to have hope in life, but restricted to stay home. The title of the novel "Inside Out & Back Again" suggests a desire to get out of a place, but being put back for some reason, having then a similar plot to the first poem.

Explanation: We can encounter several similarities with both stories. The poem “1975: Year of the Cat,” tells the story of a little girl being trapped in her house by the family and society rules. However, she is encouraged by her mother to have hope in life. On the other hand, the novel "Inside Out & Back Again" tells the story of a girl the same age, who is also very united to her family, but somehow forced to stay inside due to the horrible place they moved to. Although the plot is not told in the title of the novel, the reader can infer that a back and forth situation occurs.
