My best answer would most likely be a. Editing the language of your essay.
Editing the title is only a first impression and could be followed by a piece of writing lacking in flow. Editing punctuation would be my second choice, but it doesn't apply as much, in my opinion. And for the last choice, I'm pretty sure at least on of the three are practical options.
Hyperbole is the best answer here because Mrs. White is making a point at the ridiculousness of the monkey's paw being able to grant a wish. She could easily say an extra pair of hands, but instead she goes with four knowing it will sound ridiculous.
None of the other choices are good answers because there is no example of them in the excerpt we are asked to read.
I have found this question online. The lines it refers to are:
"The sled and traveler stopped, the courier's feet

Answer:
The lines develop the theme that a life momentarily delayed means a loss of control in the following manner:
B. They contain examples of how a snowstorm slows down human activity and forces people to accept it and work around it.
Explanation:
The lines above belong to the poem "The Snow-Storm" by Ralph Waldo Emerson. They beautifully show how nature cannot be controlled by man. When a snowstorm hits, there is nothing people can do. They must simply sit safely somewhere and wait for it to pass. They have no control over the storm's intensity or over how long it will last. Their lives are delayed by the storm and all they can do is accept it. With that in mind, we can choose letter B as the correct answer:
B. They contain examples of how a snowstorm slows down human activity and forces people to accept it and work around it.
There isn’t a passage attached or anything? I’m sorry i cannot help
Answer:
Little
Explanation:
I think to complete the sentence, it should be "there is a little water left." But either way, it should be little. It wouldn't sound right for someone to say "there is a few water."
