Answer:

Hyperbole.

Explanation:

Hyperbole is a figure of speech in which, through the use of exaggeration, one emphasizes the properties of something or someone in order to create a stronger and more vivid impression that aims at producing an effect on the reader or listener that can make the figure of speech more memorable. Hyperboles, like all forms of figurative language, are not supposed to be taken literally.

Fantom [35]

Answer:

The bike on the bike rack is blue.

Explanation:

The correct sentence from the given sentences is 'The bike on the bike rack is blue.' In the other three sentences, the error is in subject-verb-agreement. Subject-verb-agreement exemplifies that the subject and the verb in a sentence should be the same in numbers and tense. This means that with the singular noun, the singular verb will be used and with the plural noun, the plural verb will be used. In the first sentence, the subject 'cars' is plural, but the verb 'belongs' is singular. In the second sentence, the subject 'sidewalks' is plural, but the verb 'has' is singular. In the third sentence, the subject 'surface' is singular, but the verb 'were' is plural.
