From the text: Mrs. Van Daan: He hasn't finished his lesson, has he? His father'll kill him if he catches
him in there with that cat and his work not done.
The highlighted text is an example of
o simile
O personification
metaphor
hyperbole

I think that it is hyperbole because that is an extreme exaggeration and his father wont literally kill him, that is an exaggeration

the correct answer option for this is: false.

explanation:

we are given the following statement 'hawthorne thought of himself as a novelist' which is false.

the truth is that nathaniel hawthorne thought of himself as a romancer, rather than a novelist.

though it is ironic of him of him to consider himself a romancer rather than a novelist despite of the innocent women killings in the salem witch trials which occurred in colonial massachusetts between 1692 and 1693 .
