Answer:

Hyperbole

Explanation:

Hyperbole is an exaggeration that is meant to bring out a point or add humor to the speech. In the sentence above, the reader knows quite well that it is impossible for a person to shake off his arm. However, the exaggeration was clearly used to stress the fact that Fred shook his arm so vigorously.

The intensity was so much that the speaker wondered how Fred did not shake his arm off.

Why does connell reveal the main conflict until a good deal of the story has passed?
Xelga [282]
This is a good observation. The General reveals to Rainsford that Rainsford himself will be the hunted in page 11-15 of the story. So, your observation is correct. There is a delay in introducing the main conflict. The main reason for this is to keep Rainsford in suspense and study his reaction.

Eddi Din [679]
Well for one I think their immaturity didn't help the situation.  Their love was a lot like puppy love in the sense that it was their first time dealing with a relationship and therefore didn't know how to handle issues that were thrown at them.  At the same time, some of the other characters may disagree because "young love is the best love" in the sense that it is pure and innocent.
