THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW;

Sheila works in the Arizona governor’s office. She’s working on a research project about the number of tribal language speakers in her state. While researching, she finds the following information in a survey by the US Census Bureau:

Speakers of Native North American languages are concentrated most heavily in the states of Alaska, Arizona, and New Mexico. Sixty-five percent of Native North American language speakers lived in these three states. Just nine counties within these states contained half of the nation’s Native North American language speakers.

Speakers of Native North American languages resided mostly in the states of Alaska, Arizona, and New Mexico. With, sixty-five percent of native speakers living in these three states, and nine counties within these states contained half of the country’s native speakers.

Answer:

C. Apostrophe

Explanation:

Apostrophe:

Apostrophe is a figure of speech by using which a writer or speaker addresses an absent/dead person as if he/she were present, or an inanimate object or idea as if it were a living thing and listening to him/her (speaker).

Examples:  

"O wild West Wind"

"O, my cell phone, you were so dear to me."

Hyperbole: It is an exaggerated statement not to be taken literally.

Examples:

"The sun came just meters away from the earth."

"She would conquer the entire universe with her smile"

Simile:

It is a figure of speech in which the writer makes comparison between two things which may have some relation but are different. Simile always uses comparison words such as, like, as, similar to etc.

Examples:

"He is as brave as a lion"

"Life is like a dream"

Litotes:

It is an understatement in which a positive statement is made by negating its opposite. Or use of double negatives to make a positive statement.

Examples:

"It was not one of my best days" to mean It was one of my bad days."

"The books was not bad" to mean the book was good."
