Odysseus spends a lot of time talking about the very strong wine that Maron gave him. What kind of literary device is this? epic simile
foreshadowing
extended metaphor
argument

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The literary device used in this sentence is extended metaphor.

The phrase “spends a lot of time talking about the very strong wine” indicates that the words used to refer to the object are not literally applicable to the action performed. 
Answer 2
Answer: Actually, it would be foreshadowing. The hinting at the wine tells that he will be using the wine soon

[When Marjorie and Bernice reached home at half after midnight they said good night at the top of the stairs]. Though cousins, they were not intimates. [As a matter of fact Marjorie had no female intimates—she considered girls stupid]. Bernice on the contrary all through this parent-arranged visit had rather longed to exchange those confidences flavored with giggles and tears that she considered an indispensable factor in all feminine intercourse. [But in this respect she found Marjorie rather cold; felt somehow the same difficulty in talking to her that she had in talking to men]. Marjorie never giggled, was never frightened, seldom embarrassed, and in fact had very few of the qualities which Bernice considered appropriately and blessedly feminine. Bernice felt a vague pain that she was not at present engaged in being popular. [She did not know that had it not been for Marjorie's campaigning she would have danced the entire evening with one man].

a. You can either talk to the manager about your problem or writing a letter to the president of the company.
