Answer 1

Answer: The answer is hyperbole. It is very unlikely that there was absolutely no money, absolutely nothing to buy, and absolutely nowhere to go. A hyperbole is a gross exaggeration, meaning that what is being said has been expanded to prove a point. In this case, the point is being that the Great Depression was difficult for everyone.
