what type of figurative language is this? Mama was worried it was all over her face.
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The phrase "Mama was worried it was all over her face" uses **metaphor** as a figurative language device. In this context, it suggests that Mama's worry is so visible that it can be seen on her face, implying that her emotions are evident and expressed through her facial expressions, rather than suggesting that her worry literally covers her face. This implicitly highlights the intensity of her feelings without stating it directly.
