For one does not have to be ignorant and poor to find that his life is as barren as the dusty yards of our town. and i too have planted marigolds. what type of figurative language is used in the phrase, "his life is as barren as the dusty yards of our town"?
a. simile
b. hyperbole
c. alliteration
d. personification

The answer is a simile. This is because similes compare two things (these things here are his life and the dusty yards) by using like or as (specifically here as).

The other ones don't make sense: nothing is being over exaggerated (hyperbole), there are no repeating consonants (alliteration), and there are no human characteristics being given to inhuman subjects (personification).

Anne frank was a very difficult person because she would never listen to her moms sometimes her dad even though he was her favorite and in times like that it would make it harder for there parents and other people in the annex to deal with her and since they were just stuck in there the couldn’t do anything but grounding her but even that didn’t work. hope that :

Ibelieve it is entry b.
