Read the sentence below: of course, when i'm late every red light takes a thousand years to turn green and no one in front of me can drive more than five miles an hour. what type of figurative language does this sentence use? allusion hyperbole imagery metaphor

The correct answer is: Hyperbole.

Explanation:

A hyperbole is a rethoric device that is not meant to be taken literally. It refers to exaggerated sentences.

In this excerpt, when the speaker claims that every red light takes "a thousand years to turn green" he is not speaking literally. He uses this hyperbole to express that, whenever he is in a hurry, traffic lights seem to take longer to change colors.

i think it's either 'to expose the corruption of the communists in russia', or 'to criticize animal brutality by communists in russia.'  

hope this ! : )
