Read the passage below and answer the question. let the strivings of us all prove martin luther king jr. to have been correct when he said that humanity can no longer be tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war. in the passage above, what type of figurative language is used? a. simile b. personification c. metaphor d. hyperbole

In the above passage, the figurative language that exists is in the form of the following words:  “starless midnight of racism and war.”  We know the figurative language is not a simile because similes will include the use of the words “as” or “like,” and these words are not present.  We know the figurative language is not personification because personification gives human attributes to non-human things, and this is not occurring here.  We also know the figurative language is not a hyperbole because a hyperbole is a type of exaggeration, and there does not appear to be an exaggeration here.  Thus, we can conclude that the figurative language is a metaphor because a metaphor makes comparisons that are not literally applicable.  That said, because there are technically no stars or times of day in racism and war, it can be deduced that the type of figurative language used is metaphor.
