Answer:

Hyperbole.

Explanation:

A<em> hyperbole</em> is a figure of speech that involves an exaggeration of ideas for the sake of emphasis. The type of language when using a hyperbole is overstated, and it tends to exaggerate a description about something or someone.

<u>For example:</u>

<em>That bald spot on your head is brighter than the sun.</em>

<em />

The bald head of the individual cannot possibly reflect such an intense level of light, but it is said so with the objective of emphasizing on its relatively intense brightness.

Answer: The real answer is Mawu

Explanation: In Dahomey (West African) mythology, Mawu is a creator goddess, associated with the sun and moon. After creating the earth and all life and everything else on it, Mawu became concerned that it might be too heavy, so she asked the primeval serpent, Aido Hwedo, to curl up beneath the earth and hold it up in the sky.
