Read this excerpt from Rainer Maria Rilke's “The Spanish Dancers and answer the question. As on all its sides a kitchen-match darts white
Flickering tongues before it bursts into flame:
What figure of speech does Rilke use in the line above?
O oxymoron
O hyperbole
O personification
O Irony

What is implied in this sentence from mark twain's "the £1,000,000 bank-note"? i was puzzled, and wanted to discuss the matter a little further, but they didn't; so i took my leave, feeling hurt and insulted to be made the butt of what was apparently some kind of a practical joke, and yet obliged to put up with it, not being in circumstances to resent affronts from rich and strong folk.
