He was worshiping, with all his body and soul, but he looked as if he couldn't stir hand or foot.


This is the answer because it says he was worshiping with all his body and soul and that is an exaggeration because you can't do that.

Answer: D) He was worshiping, with all his body and soul, but he looked as if he couldn't stir hand or foot.

Explanation: A hyperbole is a figure of speech that consists in exaggerate an idea or event in an unrealistic way, to help to emphasize a point in a text. In the given excerpt from "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note" by Mark Twain, we can see a clear example of hyperbole in the phrase "He was worshiping, with all his body and soul, but he looked as if he couldn't stir hand or foot" because clearly it is an exaggeration, but it helps to understand the reaction of the landlord.

Crank

Endings are added to roots.

Roots, or also referred to as base words,  are the most basic parts of a word which provide the basic meaning of a word.  The root is a word that does not have a prefix in front of the word or a suffix at the end of the word. A root must have an affix, or another root, attached to it in order to make it a whole word.
