I believe the answer is Statue for the figurative language
There are three hyperboles in this excerpt from "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note":
- "They'll flock in droves". Here the word flock used as a verb means to gather together as a flock (word used to refer to a group of animals, specially birds). Therefore, the phrase is an hyperbole because it contrasts the idea of "a group of animals in a rush" to refer to "these rich Londoners" so as to cause a sense of exaggeration.
- "I'm a made man forever". The use of the word "forever" here is used to add emphasis to the fact that the character will be a made man as long as he lives: everyone knows nothing lasts forever.
- "In less than twenty-four hours London was abuzz!". Here the phrase "less than twenty-four hours" is employed to highlight how fast it took the rich Londoners to hear about the mine selling.
Paragraph 6 is more of the analysis
The central idea of the paragraph is the Pilgrims' spiritual legacy. They encountered many hardships and misfortunes on their way to the New World. They were beaten by harsh weather, fought by wild beasts and the Native Americans. All of those temptations were cast on them by God. They risked everything and, with His help, succeeded in founding what they saw as the new Zion. The point of the paragraph is, therefore, the celebration of their great venture, which was to change the world forever.
