Answer:

" I stumbled onto making pictures with a camera. "

Explanation:

Figurative language is one that uses figures of language to express a non-literal sense of what is being said. In this house the phrase "I stumbled onto making pictures with a camera." Is the phrase that presents figurative language in this excerpt.

That's because when the character says he stumbled into "taking pictures with a camera" it does not mean that the character literally stumbled "into taking pictures with a camera," but that means the character did not plan that. The character entered this area accidentally and ended up enjoying it.

He began his point in the first sentence of the excerpt: “Species are disappearing at an accelerating rate through human action, primarily habitat destruction but also pollution and the introduction of exotic species into residual natural environments.” Then, he further emphasizes his point in the sentence: “As the last forests are felled in forest strongholds like the Philippines and Ecuador, the decline of species will accelerate even more.” Which is immediately followed by another sentence that supports his argument: “In the world as a whole, extinction rates are already hundreds or thousands of times higher than before the coming of man.
