Answer:

Rhetorical question

Explanation:

The options you were given are the following:

  • Simile
  • Metaphor
  • Rhetorical question
  • Hyperbole

The literary device used by Mama in the given passage is a rhetorical question. The difference between a regular and rhetorical question is that the point of the rhetorical question is not to receive information. When someone asks it, they want to create a dramatic effect or make a point. That is exactly what Mama is doing here - she wants to make a point during an argument with her daughter.
