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.

Edgar Allan Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado" presents an excellent example of his stylistic originality through its mood and tone. From the opening sentences, Poe sets an anxious and suspenseful tone by right away pulling the reader into Montresor's vengeful obsession. This creates an air of tension as the story builds toward its climax, which Poe contrasts with satiric humor. He also sustains a mood of eerie foreboding throughout the story by using many overt symbols of death and decay.

During which episode does Odysseus demonstrate a realistic, human side of his character? when he resists the temptations of Caly
11111nata11111 [884]
It was when he weeps upon meeting Elpenor's ghost in Hades that Odysseus demonstrates a realistic, human side of his character.
Elpenor is Odysseus's mother whose ghost he saw in Hell and started crying and feeling sad, which is a human emotion to feel. The other options wouldn't normally be possible if a mere human were to do them because god-like powers are necessary for them.
