which statement most clearly contains hyperbole? a. moreover, our dynasty, swaying the myriad races of the globe, extends the sa
me benevolence towards all. b. i have expounded my wishes in detail and have commanded your tribute envoys to leave in peace on their homeward journey. c. besides, supposing i sent an ambassador to reside in your country, how could you possibly make for him the requisite arrangements? d. your envoy has crossed the seas and paid his respects at my court on the anniversary of my birthday.
A). Moreover, our dynasty, swaying the myriad races of the globe, extends the same benevolence towards all.
Explanation:
Hyperbole is exemplified as a literary device that employs overstatement or exaggerated statements to emphasize a particular point by creating a more recognizable effect. In the given question, option A clearly contains hyperbole as the sentence 'moreover, our dynasty, swaying the myriad races of the globe, extends the same benevolence towards all' overstates or exaggerates 'dynasty' by relating it to 'myriad races of the globe' to reflect their 'benignity' and 'compassion'. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
