Answer:

The sentence in which figurative language is used to suggest that a character is in a hurry is the following one:

C. Clyde was a honeybee, zipping from one task to the next.

Explanation:

The fact Clyde was referred to as a honeybee means a metaphor was used, and metaphors are one of the most frequent figures of speech. By saying "Clyde was a honeybee", one meant Clyde worked as fast as a honeybee. However, such was not intended to be said in an explicit way. Hence the metaphor. Had the idea that the character was in a hurry been expressed explicitly, it would not have been a metaphor, which is figurative language, but rather a direct comparison, literal and non-figurative.

andriy [413]

I believe the answer is:

<em>After a brief period of suspense, the will of my mistress was read, and we learned that she had bequeathed me to her sister's daughter, a child of five years old. </em>


The words 'bequathed' means the act of passing ownership from one person to another. Even though the mistress is depicted as a kind owner, the fact that she can freely pass the ownership of a human being without her consent shows that the slaves simply seen as an object or property.
