Her words were like a sharp knife to his heart

This sentence uses the word "like" to compare two very different things. It is an example of a simile.

She screamed loud enough for the world to hear.

This sentence exaggerates how loud the woman in the sentence screamed. Now matter how loud anyone screams, it's not possible for everyone in the world to hear them. It is an example of hyperbole.

It was an open secret that he was in love with her.

This sentence uses contradiction to make a point about a man's feelings for a woman (that it is an open secret). It expresses a paradox.

His words were as soft as the petals of a flower.

This sentence uses the word "as" to compare two different things. It is another example of a simile.

Answer:
The sentence that uses hyperbole (extreme exaggeration) is option B - s<span>he screamed loud enough for the world to hear.

What happened in chapter 11 to kill a mockingbird
larisa86 [58]
By the time Scout is in the second grade, tormenting Boo Radley is a thing of the past and Scout and Jem’s games take them further up the street and past Mrs. Dubose’s house. Mrs. Dubose lives alone with a black servant named Jessie and is rumored to carry a concealed pistol. Scout and Jem hate her, as she’s mean and responds viciously to even polite greetings. As time goes on, Jem gets bolder and insists that he and Scout need to run all the way to the post office—past Mrs. Dubose’s house—to meet Atticus in the evenings. But most nights, Atticus finds Jem enraged by something Mrs. Dubose said. He encourages Jem to understand that Mrs. Dubose is ill and greets her heartily every evening.
