Read the passage from A Room of One’s Own. Unfortunately, it is precisely the men or women of genius who mind most what is said of them. Remember Keats. Remember the words he had cut on his tombstone. Think of Tennyson; think but I need hardly multiply instances of the undeniable, if very fortunate, fact that it is the nature of the artist to mind excessively what is said about him. UNDERLINED PORTION: 'Literature is strewn with the wreckage of men who have minded beyond reason the opinions of others'.

Which rhetorical devices are used in the underlined portion of this passage? Select two options.

allusion

metaphor

overstatement

understatement

parallel structure
