The poetic device used in the line "There were thirty million English who talked of England's might" is **C) Hyperbole**. Hyperbole is an exaggeration for emphasis or effect, and the mention of "thirty million" implies a vast number that emphasizes the pride or discussion of England's might, rather than providing a precise count.
