Question

What literary device is used by Mama when she says:

"Yes? You give him up for me? You done wrote his epitaph too
- like the rest of the world?" (also look at lines 5-7)

Answer 1

Rhetorical question

Step-by-step explanation:

The options you were given are the following:

• Simile
• Metaphor
• Rhetorical question
• Hyperbole

The literary device used by Mama in the given passage is a rhetorical question. The difference between a regular and rhetorical question is that the point of the rhetorical question is not to receive information. When someone asks it, they want to create a dramatic effect or make a point. That is exactly what Mama is doing here - she wants to make a point during an argument with her daughter.
