1. Which literary device appears in the following passage: Daddy sits in his study with his legs propped precariously on his desk, ankles crossed, glasses
mid-nose, all the while making meticulous marginal notions in his thermodynamics book that he
has chosen for pleasure. Pleasure--oh please! If I weren't here to defeat the math monster that
Turks everywhere I go, I would choose from a multitude of mysteries or run rampant in the fields
or romance or even find myself heehawing at the prospect of humorous books. That's me
though, not Daddy. Daddy is deadly serious about his magical mathematics.
