Question

literary devices in the danger of lying in bed
last year i traveled twenty thousand miles, almost entirely by rail; the year before, i traveled over twenty - five thousand miles, half by sea and half by rail; and the year before that i traveled in the neighborhood of ten thousand miles, exclusively by rail. i suppose if i put in all the little odd journeys here and there, i may say i have traveled sixty thousand miles during the three years i have mentioned.
which literary device is in this passage from \the danger of lying in bed\?
metaphor - a comparison of two unlike things without using \like\ or \as\
repetition - a word or phrase used multiple times to make a point
irony - when the opposite of what is expected happens

Explanation:

The passage repeatedly uses the phrase "traveled... miles" and references "by rail" multiple times to emphasize the narrator’s extensive travel, which fits the definition of repetition.

Answer:

repetition - a word or phrase used multiple times to make a point
