Question

Which literary technique is used in the following expression?

To pick a person to pieces.
O idiom
O Sarcasm
O Oxymoron
O Symbol

Answer 1

A. idiom

Step-by-step explanation:

An idiom is a phrase that is used in a non-literal sense.

For instance, when you say soemthing is "a piece of cake", you mean something is easy, not that it is literally a piece of cake.

Because this expression doesn't mean you are literally picking a person to pieces, it would be an idiom.

I hope this helps! :)
