Answer:

Our football team had two injured players; we lost the game.

Explanation:

One of the most common uses of semicolon is to join two independent clauses without having to appeal to a conjunction (such as "and"). In this case, we have <em>"Our football team had two injured players"</em> and <em>"We lost the game"</em>. Both of them are independent clauses, therefore the use of semicolon is correct in this sentence.

Which sentence contains an example of hyperbole? Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that t

Svetradugi [14.3K]

"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty." (A) contains a hyperbole.

In literature, a hyperbole is a stylistic exaggeration. It is used to give a dramatic effect to a statement.

Here, the hyperbole is: "pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe." There are of course prices that the U.S. are going to refuse to pay, burdens they will not afford to carry, etc., but by exaggerating these commitments, Kennedy sounds more resolute and more persuasive.
