Answer: I believe the right answer to be the third option, letter C. hyperbole and inductive reasoning.

Explanation:

The statement presents inductive reasoning, not a deductive one. Inductive reasoning starts from specific examples and facts and then moves on to a generalized conclusion. The speaker moves from observing specific Boxers to concluding that all Boxers (generalization) behave in the same manner. Deductive reasoning would do the opposite, moving from general principles to a specific conclusion. Thus, we can eliminate options B and D.

A hyperbole is a figure of speech in which exaggeration is used to give emphasis to the message the speaker wants to convey. In this case, the exaggeration comes from comparing the dogs to tornados. The speaker's intention is to have the reader visualize the mess a Boxer dog is able to leave behind it by having the reader picture the mess left by a tornado. Of course, what the dog can do is not nearly as catastrophic as what the tornado can. Therefore, a hyperbole is used.

What is one possible disadvantage of hearing the characters’ voices as opposed to silently reading the scene?
ziro4ka [17]

The answers are: It does not allow listeners to interpret each character through his or her tone; and it does not allow listeners to review or reread what each character has said.

When hearing the characters voices out loud, and in the hypothetical case that it is a live audition and not a recording, one, as part of the audience, does not have, evidently, the possibility of reviewing or rereading what each character says. This may seem vane, but in reality, it can be very important when reading since sometimes the sense of what´s being read is so profound that, in order to capture in full, one needs to review a certain passage.

Also, hearing the characters has the disadvantage of making their voices concrete and specific according to whoever is speaking. This leaves out the possibility of filling the character´s voice with one´s own imagination, wit, and fantasy, which usually are very important characteristics of a fictional character (literature, in the end, is always a very subjective activity on the side of the reader).
