c. to exaggerate

Hyperbole is used to exaggerate a thought or idea. It often makes the tone humorous or overly dramatic. It's important to be careful when using hyperbole in writing because it can also make the speaker seem unreliable since a hyperbole is not a complete truth. A few examples of everyday hyperboles are: My homework is going to take forever. I'm so hungry, I could eat a cow. I'm so embarrassed, I could die.

If you say - I have been waiting for you for a hundred years, when you are waiting for someone for a half an hour, that would be a hyperbole.

Which of the following is not one of the faults Beatrice is accused of? Question 1 options: disdain and scorn improper ettiquett
r-ruslan [8.4K]

The answer:

The The character of Beatrice in Much ado about nothing is accused of

* Disdain and scorn- here are some examples of situations where this is mentioned in the story. First, we have the moment when Benedict arrives to Leonato's house and see Beatrice when he expresses this - What, my dear Lady Disdain! are you yet living?-

Another example could be during the conversation between Hero and Ursula in the garden when Hero says - But Nature never framed a woman's heart  of prouder stuff than that of Beatrice;  disdain and scorn ride sparkling in her eyes.

* Inability to love, this accusation happens during the conversation between Hero an Ursula too, when Hero says - All matter else seems weak: she cannot love,  Nor take no shape nor project of affection-. A second example is the expression of Claudio during his conversation with Leonato where he says -  I did   never think that lady would have loved any man- referring to Beatrice.

Correct answer-  improper etiquette. Beatrice being a lady that grew up surrounded by lords has a high-level etiquette, the family of Leonato her Uncle welcome the soldiers with all the proper elegance and respect that high society people are used to having. So that she's never accused of that fault.
