Answer 2

Hyperbaton has been used as the figure of speech in the given sentence.

EXPLANATION:

Hyperbaton is a figure of speech where the usual syntax of a sentence is inverted. The arrangement of the words in a ‘sentence’ is written in a reverse order to create an emphasis.  

In the given sentence, ‘eight years have passed since I placed my cherry seed in the grass’, the order of words has been reversed. The subject of the sentence ‘I’ has been placed towards the end whereas the predicate precedes it. Hence there is a Hyperbaton.
