Answer (RU)

Let's break down each example:

• A) "Future years will be met with ..." - This phrase uses exaggeration to emphasize the long-awaited future. This is characteristic of 1) Hyperbole.
• B) "To the midnight forest, in pursuit of ..." - This is a more poetic and figurative description, implying a journey or search into the dark and mysterious. The phrase "midnight forest" and "in pursuit" suggests a symbolic meaning, characteristic of 3) Metaphor.
• C) "... And on your bright path on the riverbed." - This phrase uses vivid imagery and a metaphorical connection between a "bright path" and a "riverbed" to evoke a sense of guidance and destiny. This is a typical example of 3) Metaphor.

Therefore, the correct correspondence is:

• A - 1
• B - 3
• C - 3

However, since the options provided only have 'Metaphor' listed once as option 3 and option 4 is also 'Metaphor', and the provided text seems to only present 'A', 'B', and 'C' with only two distinct examples meant to be matched with three or four options, let's re-evaluate based on the typical understanding of literary devices.

If we assume the options are:

1. Hyperbole
2. Epithet
3. Metaphor
4. Metaphor (likely a typo and should be something else, or another example of metaphor)

And the examples are:

• A) "Future years will be met with ..." - Suggests a lot of future years, thus exaggeration, hence Hyperbole (1).
• B) "To the midnight forest, in pursuit of ..." - "Midnight forest" is a descriptive phrase, but "in pursuit of" suggests a deeper, perhaps symbolic, quest. It's ambiguous, but can lean towards Metaphor (3).
• C) "... And on your bright path on the riverbed." - This is clearly a metaphor, comparing a life's journey or fate to a "bright path" on a "riverbed". So, Metaphor (3).

Given the provided options, and assuming there might be a slight ambiguity or repetition in the question:

Let's consider the possibility that the question intends to differentiate between types of figurative language.

If we strictly adhere to the numbering and examples:

• A) "Future years will be met with ..." - This implies an abundance, a vastness of future time, which is a form of exaggeration. So, 1) Hyperbole.
• B) "To the midnight forest, in pursuit of ..." - This evokes a dark, perhaps dangerous, and mysterious setting, and the action of "pursuit" suggests a deeper meaning or quest. This can be interpreted as a 3) Metaphor.
• C) "... And on your bright path on the riverbed." - This is a clear metaphorical statement, likening a life's journey or destiny to a "bright path" on a "riverbed." This is also a 3) Metaphor.

Since there are two instances of 'Metaphor' and only one 'Hyperbole' and 'Epithet', and the examples B and C both strongly suggest metaphor, it's reasonable to assign them both to metaphor.

The table should reflect:

| A | B | C | |---|---|---| | 1 | 3 | 3 |
