1. Read the following passage from "The Happy Man."
Alecsey [184]
1. The answer is A.<span> Hyperbole

Hyperbole is a stylistic element in prose and poetry that involves the use of exaggerated claims that are not literal in meaning. Hyperbole is useful in creating a dramatic effect when the writer is trying to explain a phenomenon or feeling to the reader. For instance, in the passage above the sentence, "</span><span>His heart was overflowing with love for people, animals, and things and with an all-engulfing sense of optimism and joy" involves the use of exaggeration and non-literal claims to paint a picture of a "happy man" to the reader. 

2. The correct answer is </span><span>B. Symbols generally have only one meaning.

Literary symbols such as figures of speech, metaphors, alliteration, etc., enhance the meaning of a text, adding a dramatic effect when discussing characters, objects and situations. They do not have only one meaning. While literary symbols usually have a primary intended meaning for the reader, they have multiple meanings subject to the reader's interpretations of the text. </span><span>
