c) hyperbole

A hyperbole is an over-exaggeration. In this phrase, it is highly unlikely that the little city in Georgia has been sleeping for "forty thousand years" especially considering that the United States is only 242 years old. If personification were an option, it would also be a great choice. Personification is giving non-human thing human-like traits. In this phrase, the city (non-human) is being given a human trait (dozing).

The other options: an allusion is a reference to another piece of literature or other published work. A flashback is an interruption that tells about something that has already happened. Rhyme is a group of words that sound similar (bone, cone, phone).

Odysseus is portrayed as a bat in this passage.

  • Odysseus is compared as a bat in this passage. "I rushed towards the enormous fig tree, grabbing on like a bat under a limb," the analogy in the extract reads. "Odysseus compares himself to a trapped bat in the first person. He is unable to flee. His situation is ominous, and his future outlook is poor.
  • A mythological Greek ruler of Ithaca, Odysseus—also known by his Latin name, Ulysses—is the protagonist of Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey. In Homer's Iliad and other works in the same epic cycle, Odysseus also has a significant part.
  • The Odyssey's titular hero, Odysseus, is probably what most people know about him. This epic tells the story of his struggles—which lasted for ten years—to reclaim his throne as the legitimate king of Ithaca after the Trojan War.

Thus the correct option is B.
