Answer:

Literal sentence.

Step-by-step explanation:

A literal sentence have words or phrases which conveys the exact same meaning as the words or phrases. While, a non-literal sentence have words or phrases conveying some special meaning far apart from the actual or dictionary meaning of the words or phrases.

Since, the sentence " Ivy's town in Florida had not received snow in over ten years." conveys no other meaning than the literal meaning of the sentence it's a literal sentence.
