Answer:
An indefinite pronoun refers to a sentence's subject or a preposition's object.
Explanation:
An indefinite pronoun, as the name suggests, refers to a person or a thing without being specific. Examples of indefinite pronouns are: all, some, any, none, someone, anything, everybody, among others.
Indefinite pronouns can function as the subject of a sentence or as the object of a preposition. Take a look at the sentences below to see how that happens:
- Everybody thinks Josh will fail this semester. --> indefinite pronoun "everybody" is the subject of the sentence.
- Money is not important to all. --> indefinite pronoun "all" is the object of the preposition "to".
Answer:
It is a hyperbole that means that the author's eyes were wide with fear.
Explanation:
A hyperbole is an exaggeration to prove a point. For example: "I had a thousand pages of homework." You can't possibly have that much homework; it is exaggerated to show how much homework you have.
A simile is a comparison to another thing using the words "like" or "as." For example: "My pile of homework was as thick as a box."
An oxymoron is using two words together that contradict. For example: "My homework was finished at school." Normally people do homework at home, so it is contradictory(opposite) to do it at school. Another example is "the boiling hot ice." Usually ice is freezing cold, so it is contradictory for it to be hot.
Now that you know these figures of speech, we can answer the question. It's not a simile because it isn't comparing anything with the words "like" or "as." It's not an oxymoron because there is no contradictory statement. So, it is a hyperbole. It is exaggerating how far the person's eyes were sticking out.
