Question

Which of these phrases is an example of hyperbole? Om A. My mom doesn't do much. She just works and raises me and my little sister B. I just love it when my baby sister wants to tag along with me and my friends! C. My sister and I share a room. She's a little messy D. My little sister passed first grade. She's the smartest kid everl

Answer 1

Answer: D) My little sister passed first grade. She's the smartest kid ever.

Explanation: A hyperbole is a type of figurative language that consists in exaggerating an event or a statement. From the given options, the phrase that represents an example of a hyperbole is the corresponding to option D: My little sister passed first grade. She's the smartest kid ever, because the speaker's sister isn't actually the smartest kid ever, it is an exaggeration that shows how proud the speaker is.

Answer 2

A hyperbole is an exaggerated statement, not meant to be taken literally. An example of a hyperbole is "This thing weighs a million pounds!" No item actually weighs a million pounds, but it is an exaggeration, because it weighs a lot. So, your answer would be "D. My little sister passed first grade. She's the smartest kid ever!"

Hope this helps!
