My kid's room is a disaster area.
Which type of figurative language is being used? Explain your response. Be sure to include the definition for this type of figurative language are part of your explanation.

Respuesta :

its a metaphor :) the kids room is being compared to the disaster area to make the point that it is messy

Answer:

The sentence uses a hyperbole to describe the mess in the kid's room. It is also a metaphor, because it uses literal language to describe the subject. A hyperbole is an extreme exaggeration, used to emphasize a description of something. In the sentence, the hyperbole is "...a disaster area." The room is not actually a scene of a disaster, but the phrase is used to show that there is a large mess.

Good luck ^^
