Question

Which lines in these excerpts contain an example of a hyperbole?

Answer 1

The  lines in these excerpts contain an example of a hyperbole is:
One short sleep past, we wake eternally
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.
(John Donne, Sonnet 10)

Answer 2

The correct answer is B.

In the excerpt of John Donne's Sonnet 10, the phrase "we wake eternally" is an example of hyperbole because it exaggerates the idea for the sake of emphasis.

The author wants to express the idea that the characters have had little sleep and now have to be awake for a very long time.
