Question 1 Report

The expression million voices is used as _________

Answer Details
The expression "million voices" is used as a hyperbole. Hyperbole is a figure of speech that exaggerates or overstates something for emphasis or effect. In this case, "million voices" is used to suggest that there are a large number of people expressing their opinions, ideas or concerns. It is not meant to be taken literally as a million people, but rather as a way to emphasize the significance of the collective voice of many people. Other examples of hyperbole include "I've told you a million times" and "It's so hot, you could fry an egg on the sidewalk."
