Answer: It'd be hyperbole.

Explanation: Hyperbole is exaggeration of speech, i.e. "That thump was so loud, that Hawaii might've thought a volcano erupted" or something along those lines. It's not to be taken seriously, like a literal mountain of paper.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The figure of speech in this sentence is a <u>hyperbole</u>.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

'Mountain of bills' is an exaggeration to strongly point out something. It doesn't have to be taken literally. These kinds of sentences create strong impressions or feelings by exaggerating a word or phrase in the sentence.

You cannot take this extravagant statement literally, as it does not provide any concrete meaning. It is present in the sentence to only emphasize on the incident strongly.

Ophelia is a character of great interest and debate among literary scholars. Why? Select all that apply.
Firlakuza [10]
Her conflict with Hamlet raises gender role issues - because Hamlet is one amongst the numerous those that outline Ophelia by her sexuality. She has no management over her body, her relationships, or her selections throughout the story.
Her beauty and charm could be a model of feminine stereotype - fully tractable and passive; she refuses to fight back once she extremely has to.
