Answer:

Hyperbole is used for emphasizing.

Explanation:

Hyperbole is a figure of speech which is used for emphasizing and expressing exaggerated statements or claims.

Two most famous hyperboles in <em>Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" </em>are:

<em>"Tis not the affair of a city, a country, a province, or a kingdom, but of a continent – of at least one eighth part of the habitable globe."</em>

<em>"Tis not the concern of a day, a year, or an age; posterity are virtually involved in the contest and will be more or less affected, even to the end of time, by the proceedings now"</em>

By using <em>hyperbole</em>, Paine in this text addresses the “cause” of American independence and pushes people into thinking about deserved freedom for the whole world, which has to be done at that same moment, both for the present time and future time.

Which line from the passage best reveals how the Greek army felt about sneezes during a war? The army of 10,000 faced the challe
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The army marched to safety, perpetuating the myth of a sneeze's power.

Explanation:

This line of the passage reveals that the Greeks had certain superstitions about sneezes that amounted to adoring them as a superhuman power that brought good fortune.

While there was no substantial evidence to prove that sneezes were indeed good luck charms or signs, the myth was perpetrated by the happenstance occurrence of a sneeze during a speech and the successful march of the army following the choice of a new commander.
