Question

○ nuance, intensity, and mood
○ position, effect, and plot

Explanation:

To determine the types of figures of speech, we analyze each option:

• "nuance, intensity, and mood" relate to language subtleties or emotional tone, not figures of speech.
• "position, effect, and plot" are terms related to literary structure or analysis, not figures of speech.
• "tone, variation, and feeling" pertain to language style or emotional expression, not figures of speech.
• "hyperbole, metaphor, and idiom" are well - known figures of speech. Hyperbole is an exaggeration, metaphor is a comparison without "like" or "as", and idiom is a group of words with a non - literal meaning.

Answer:

D. hyperbole, metaphor, and idiom
