Answer:

B. Hyperbole

Explanation:

The excerpt provided is a figurative language which makes use figures of speech to achieve impact, persuasion and emphasis.

Alliteration, Hyperbole, Metaphor and Simile as all examples of figures of speech.

  1. Alliteration: places a number of words with similar consonant sounds to occur next to each other in a series etc. For example: A big bully beats a baby boy.
  2. Hyperbole: exaggerates on ideas to emphasis a situation. For example:  She has been dying to get a new shoe.
  3. Metaphor: makes use of a hidden comparison between two different things, two things that have nothing  in common but at the same time share same characteristics. For example: The news was music to my ears.
  4. Simile: makes direct comparisons between two unrelated things, by using  the words "like" and "as". For example: She is as large as life.

The excerpt provided there is no comparison but an exaggeration of facts as ostriches are said to gobble their food

What does the word "antediluvian" mean??
irakobra [83]
Antediluvian is an adjective and has two meanings:
1) of or belonging to the time before the Biblical flood
2) Ridiculously old fashioned or greatly out of date  (sometimes used in a humorous sense)
Here, I'll use it in a sentence: 

I often feel my mother wears clothes that are so antediluvian, she never has to worry about blending in with the crowds.

<span>As soon as the latest iPhone came out, the older models became antediluvian to tech experts.
</span>
Hope this helped! :)
