Question

What type of figurative language is this "I do not care to talk to you although/ your speech evokes a thousand sympathies "

Answer 1

I think that's hyperbole, because by saying " a thousand of sympathies" it's exaggerating. 

Answer 2

Hyperbole

Step-by-step explanation:

Hyperbole is a figure of speech that consists of speaking or writing in an exaggerated manner usually to emphasize, add humor or gain attention on something. Words and phrases that are obviously false are common in this language. “A thousand sympathies,” then, is an example of hyperbole (hence, it should not be taken literally) used to emphasize the effect of someone's speech.
