Answer:

The figure of speech in "it is burning" is a hyperbole.

You can reword that sentence as "it is extremely hot outside."

Explanation:

A hyperbole is a figure of speech that uses exaggeration to express a feeling or an idea. For example, when you tell someone you have called them a million times, you are using a hyperbole. You haven't actually called them that many times, you just want them to know that you called a lot.

It is quite common for people to use hyperbole when talking of the weather. We say it is burning hot when we mean it is really hot; we say it is freezing cold when we mean it is very cold. It is not really burning or freezing, we just exaggerate it to make our point.

A way to reword "it is burning" is by removing the hyperbole: "It is extremely hot outside."

The Man at the Market
When the supermarket clerk tallied up my groceries, I was $12 over what I had on me. I began to remove items from the bags, when another shopper handed me a $20 bill. “Please don’t put yourself out,” I told him. “Let me tell you a story,” he said. “My mother is in the hospital with cancer. I visit her every day and bring her flowers. I went this morning, and she got mad at me for spending my money on more flowers. She demanded that I do something else with that money. So, here, please accept this. It is my mother’s flowers.” – Leslie Wagner, Peel, Arkansas. Here are 30 more acts of kindness you can do in two minutes or less.
