When it is seventy-five below zero, a man must not fail in his first attempt to build a fire—that is, if his feet are wet. If his feet are dry, and he fails, he can run along the trail for half a mile and restore his circulation. But the circulation of wet and freezing feet cannot be restored by running when it is seventy-five below. No matter how fast he runs, the wet feet will freeze the harder. All this the man knew. The old-timer on Sulphur Creek had told him about it the previous fall, and now he was appreciating the advice. Foreshadowing Figurative language Verbal irony Symbolism

Answer:

The figurative language used in the excerpt is:

foreshadowing

Explanation:

This excerpt was taken from the short story "To Build a Fire" by American novelist Jack London (1876-1926). London is famous for writing stories in which the conflict man vs. nature is developed. He used his own experience as an adventurer as inspiration for his plots.

This particular passage of "To Build a Fire" uses a figurative language known as foreshadowing, in which the author reveals details that will later unfold into something important in the story. Here, the main character has been warned by an old man about the dangers of extreme cold weather. The old man is most likely much wiser than the young main character. However, he does not listen to him and go out into the forest on his own. This will later unfold into the young man's death. The old man's warning served as foreshadowing for that happening.

And there was a custom, besides, that he meant to keep, That he had assumed in his noble way: he would not eat On such a holiday until he had been told A tale all new of some wonderful event . . .

Read the passage from chapter 7 of Animal Farm.
As Clover looked down the hillside her eyes filled with tears. If she could have spoken her thoughts, it would have been to say that this was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race. These scenes of terror and slaughter were not what they had looked forward to on that night when old Major first stirred them to rebellion. If she herself had had any picture of the future, it had been of a society of animals set free from hunger and the whip, all equal, each working according to his capacity, the strong protecting the weak, as she had protected the lost brood of ducklings with her foreleg on the night of Major's speech. Instead—she did not know why—they had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes. There was no thought of rebellion or disobedience in her mind. She knew that, even as things were, they were far better off than they had been in the days of Jones, and that before all else it was needful to prevent the return of the human beings. Whatever happened she would remain faithful, work hard, carry out the orders that were given to her, and accept the leadership of Napoleon. But still, it was not for this that she and all the other animals had hoped and toiled. It was not for this that they had built the windmill and faced the bullets of Jones's gun. Such were her thoughts, though she lacked the words to express them.
