How does the figurative language used in this excerpt best support the rhetorical appeal?

“I will not retreat a single inch” is hyperbole: Garrison uses an exaggerated image of refusing to move even an inch to stress his unwavering resolve. That forceful commitment can stir the audience’s feelings, making it an appeal to pathos. It does not emphasize the importance of a particular place, so the choice about kairos is not the best fit.
