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.

Ber [7]

Answer:

D. to express sharp disapproval of someone’s behavior

Explanation:

According to the excerpt from "On Reverence for Parents" by Zhao Ban,

"If your parents rebuke you,

Receive it not impatiently,

But, standing in their presence,

Hear with reverence and obedient heart,"

The word “rebuke” most closely means that there's a sharp disapproval of a particular behavior.

This is shown in the excerpt as the narrator says that if your parents rebuke you, we should receive it patiently.
