The young man predicted, “basketball will be my one way ticket out of this neighborhood and to a better life
What figurative language is this?

Answer :

Answer:

Idiom

Explanation:

An idiom is a phrase or expression that typically presents a figurative, non-literal meaning attached to the phrase; but some phrases become figurative idioms while retaining the literal meaning of the phrase. Categorized as formulaic language, an idiom's figurative meaning is different from the literal meaning.

I think this is an idiom because of the words "One way ticket." It's not actually a ticket.
