Read this excerpt from "birdfoot's grampa.” the old man must have stopped our car two dozen times to climb out and gather into his hands the small toads blinded by our lights and leaping, live drops of rain. which type of figurative language is "two dozen times”? hyperbole metaphor personification simile

The literary device used in "two dozen times" is hyperbole. A hyperbole is an exaggeration of ideas that are not meant to be taken seriously. For example, "I haven't seen you in ages" is a hyperbole because you may have not seen the person for some time, but the word "ages" adds emphasis to your wait as it seems to have been a very long time since you last saw him.

In this excerpt's line, "the old man" probably stopped the car a few times, but the writer exaggerates it by saying he did so a "dozen times" in order to emphasize the man's actions.

The answer is C) personification

catherine roberts for ignoring me

covert: hidden or secret

candid: truthful and straightforward

what i get from these phrases is covert means undercover or underground and that's where the flower is in april. on the other hand, may is the month where flowers start to bloom and thats the reason why candid is being used as a word to describe the blossoming period of a flower.

hope this answer you.
