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
