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.

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

"For then each tyrant, by the hand of fate,  

And standing troops, the bane of every state,  

Forever spurn'd, shall be remov'd as far  

As bright Hesperus from the polar star"

Explanation:

The four verses selected above represent how America was oppressed and exploited by the British. In these verses, the poem uses the term "tyranny" to represent the way America was governed before it became independent. The poet also shows how this type of positioning will no longer be tolerated, but rather rejected and fought, so that Americans never have to face tyranny again.
