Before answering the question, let us first explain what we understand for <u>figurative language.</u> It is the use of the language in any way that is not strictly literal. Even though it's often questioned how many "categories" of figurative language there are, it's safe to say there are at least six distinct categories. They are: metaphors, similes, personification, hyperbole, and symbolism, and irony.
In the excerpt shown, there present two of them, hyperbole and verbal Irony. The example for the hyperbole is this: <em><u>“with all the force in his body”</u></em> the reason for this is in the meaning of the sentence, it is an exaggeration, if you used literally all the force in your body, you would naturally faint or even die. The next example is for the verbal irony: <u><em>“an opportunity to reward me”</em></u> a reward was not really what the performer of the action was going to do, it was precisely the opposite, he was going to punish the man, and that is indeed the irony, the use of the opposite of any word that should be used.
The answer to this question is that the excerpt above is and example of:
hyperbole
figurative language
verbal irony
Since hyperbole and verbal irony are categories of figurative language, that, figurative language is also correct as an asnwer.
The storm had suddenly come upon them, surprising the two boys. Their jackets offered little protection from the rain. Jack led the way to the cabin; it was almost hidden by the trees. Within minutes they stood on the porch. The door opened and they entered, throwing their backpacks on to the floor. They shivered; the room was cold. Worse, it was damp.
They could not see in the darkness, so Jack felt for the lantern, which he knew was on the table. If they had started out earlier, they would not have been caught in the rain and unable to reach the cabin before the night. A warm fire and supper would certainly help.
When the lantern was lit, Jack gasped. The doors to the cupboard, which his father had filled, were opened, revealing empty shelves. Walking back on to the porch, he stared at the empty place where wood had been stacked.
Obviously, someone had been warm and well-fed at their expense. Phil, he knew, would accept his apology. That was a small consolation for the uncomfortable night they would have. At lease a lesson had been learned; next time he would prepare for any emergency that might occur.
