Hyperbole. I think it’s a hyperbole because it’s basically an exaggeration of what she might do. Saying that she’ll shatter the glass into a MILLION pieces would be a lot so it’s probably a hyperbole.
When Manual talks about his granny, he tells us a story about an insane old woman. His grandmother was a vivacious and cheery old woman. She had spent her days cooking amuse the troops of the government that were stationed around the Golden Bridge.
As for why she is insane This part of the text justifies it: <em>"She was crazy," Manual insisted, "because she only charged them for the cost of the food she cooked, and she didn't earn a penny for all that work.“</em>
So, to Manual, making food for the troops was crazy because she didn't earn any money from doing so. This part of the text most likely tell us more about the narrator than about Granny.
An apposition is a relation between a word an a noun. Foe example "Rudolph red-nosed reindeer"

A is the correct answer because if you're topic is your hero, then you won't go looking for a subject that interests you and an audience. However the other 3 options are good ideas.
Answer:
The error with subject-verb agreement is highlighted below:
On the basketball court, nothing fazes Martina. She has a singular focus: driving up the score for her team.
Explanation:
<u>Subject-verb agreement refers to the verb adjusting itself to the subject. If the subject is plural, the verb is also plural. If the subject is singular, the verb must also be singular. </u>Take a look at the examples below:
- Leslie goes jogging every morning. → Leslie - singular subject; goes - singular verb.
- They go swimming every Saturday. → They - plural subject; go - plural verb.
In the sentence we are analyzing here, there is an error with the subject-verb agreement. The subject is "nothing", which is singular, but the verb is "faze", which is plural. To correct this error, we must add -s to "faze", since verbs referring to the third person singular in the present tense need -s, -es, or -ies.
<u>The corrected sentence is:</u>
<u>On the basketball court, nothing </u><u>fazes</u><u> Martina.</u>
