Question

re - read this line from the text: not marble nor the gilded monuments of princes shall outlive this powerful rhyme. what type of figurative language is being used? hint: figurative language - words or phrases that are meaningful, but not literally true. simile hyperbole personification

Explanation:

The line claims that the "powerful rhyme" will outlive marble and gilded monuments of princes. This is an exaggeration as poems don't actually outlive physical structures in a literal sense. A hyperbole is an extreme exaggeration, which is what is used here. Similes compare using "like" or "as", and personification gives human - like qualities to non - human things, neither of which is happening here.

Answer:

Hyperbole
