I would say the correct answer is B. hyperbole.
Hyperbole is a figure of speech that authors use when they want to exaggerate things. So this 'vegetable love' cannot possibly grow larger than empires - the poem just wants to demonstrate the power and intensity of this love by using the figure of hyperbole. A paradox would include two completely opposite things, and <em>vast </em>and <em>slow </em>are not opposites.
It's called a *Prepositional Phrase.
I can explain further, if you like.
The sentence which uses quotation marks correctly is: "How are your classes?" asked Xavier. When using quotation marks with a question sentence, always include the question mark inside the quotation marks and a comma after the quoted sentence is no longer necessary.
