Ben growled at the man who parked too close to his car. He was always guarding his prized possession. Don’t get too close or he might bite! Which figure of speech, or literary device, does the author use in the passage?

"Ben growled at the man"

it is figurative language (hyperbole)

Ben probably didnt actually growl at the man who parked next to him
