Answer:

C: hyperbole

Explanation:

 The underline phrase <em>'filthy Fredo'</em>  in the excerpt is an example of <em>hyperbole</em>  because the boys, being cruel, were exaggerating, in an attempt to ridicule him. It is not a comparison, so it's not metaphor nor simile. This figure of speech is found in everyday conversatons and in literature, used to stress a point. One example: <em>She said she had </em><em>a ton</em><em> of homework.</em>

The underlined words are a metaphor as they compare Fredo to a creature without using like or as.

Developing kindness is important for social competence, relationships, and connection. Select one:
alexandr402 [8]
A)True.
In order to maintain relationships (both social and business relationships) a level of mutual kindness to each other is vital. Without kindness, a connection is impossible to be made. Additionally, if everyone was unkind, the world would be a much colder place than it is currently. Without kindness, compassion doesn't exist, which may result in social incompetence and increased wars and fighting.
