The revision which uses hyperbole to modify the original sentence is "Steve has terrible pollen allergies; he sneezes his face off in the spring and fall." (option A)

<h3>What is hyperbole?</h3>

A hyperbole is a figure of speech that uses exaggeration to convey an idea or feeling. Imagine a friend calls you a couple of times, but you don't pick up. Then, he says, "I called you a thousand times! Where were you?" That is a hyperbole.

We can eliminate option B because it uses a simile, and option C because it uses an idiom rather than a hyperbole."Until the cows come home" is used to signify "for a long time." Option D is also incorrect because it uses a personification.

The best option is letter A. It is impossible to sneeze until one's face falls off. This is an exaggeration with the purpose of emphasizing the idea that Steve sneezes a lot because of his allergies.
