A hyperbole is either a word or a sentence in a text that shows an overstatement (an exaggeration), it does not have to be literal; it is just a way to express your ideas in order to generate a contrast or to get the reader's attention.
In the excerpt the hyperboles (exaggerations) are:
- <u><em>Your name--think of it! Man,</em></u><u><em> they'll flock in droves</em></u><u><em>, these rich Londoners; they'll fight for that stock! </em></u>
When the writer says <em>"they'll flock in droves", </em>he refers to a very big amount of people together.
- <em><u>In less than twenty-four hours London was </u></em><em><u>abuzz</u></em><em><u>!</u></em>
When the writer uses the word <em>"abuzz", </em>it does not mean the city was on fire; it means the city was lively busy.
I think it is C because the others are just criticizing or about death
I think A is the answer
Hope this helps

Adept means skilled or good. Should be something along the lines of that.
Explanation:
Writers and speakers use humor to convey truth by using humorous comparisons and examples related to the conveyed truth<span>. The truth is never simple and not everyone understands the complexity and the true meaning of it. With this constraint, writers, and speakers use a more understandable explanation. They use examples and comparisons for helping the people to understand.</span>
