Question

9.

A day was twenty-four hours long but seemed longer. There was no hurry,
for there was nowhere to go, nothing to buy and no money to buy it with, nothing to see
outside the boundaries of Maycomb County. -Harper Lee, To Kill A Mockingbird
What type of figurative language is this?

Answer 1

happy to help

Step-by-step explanation:

Hyperbole is the answer. A hyperbole is an over exaggeration, which is used here because the sentence states there was nowhere to go, nothing to buy, no money, and nothing to see. The situation is being exaggerated.

Hope this helps! :)
