Answer 2

A hyperbole is a over-exaggeration of something. When someone says, "When I picked up that bowling ball I felt like I was going to die." The question is just asking you which of these thing is a over-exaggeration of the situation!

A. Is just a normal thing to say. Maybe even a little understated. This is definitely not a example of hyperbole.

C. This is the question they threw in to confuse you. This is nit a example of hyperbole. This is just the coach trying to convince himself that they could still win the game.

D. This could of been of been a example of hyperbole, if it was rephrased. But the way it is phrased now is not over-exaggerating anything.

B. Is your answer! No one will die if their not given a car for their birthday! I hope that helps you out!
