Read the excerpt from “First Generation” of Dreaming in Cuban. He stops at the ocean’s edge, smiles almost shyly, as if he fears

disturbing her, and stretches out a colossal hand. His blue eyes are like lasers in the night. The beams bounce off his fingernails, five hard blue shields. They scan the beach, illuminating shells and sleeping gulls, then focus on her. The porch turns blue, ultraviolet. Her hands, too, are blue. Celia squints through the light, which dulls her eyesight and blurs the palms on the shore. Which of the following is an example of a hyperbole? “smiles almost shyly, as if he fears disturbing her” “and stretches out a colossal hand” “His blue eyes are like lasers in the night.” “The porch turns blue, ultraviolet.”

"and stretches out a colossal hand" would most likely be your answer. Hyperbole means it is an exaggerated statement not to be taken literally. Colossal mean huge and do his hand is huge but of course not that big.

A hyperbole is a figure of speech that is used to exaggerate something because the author wants to point out something important or give it more emphasis. In this case the sentence that contains an example of a hyperbole is "and stretches out a colossal hand"; the hand is not actually colossal, but the author wants to express that it is bigger than regular hands.

What do you think you would have with someone circumstances?
kiruha [24]

Answer:

When interviewers ask you questions about things you would have done differently at work, they want to gain insight into your job-related weaknesses. They may also be attempting to determine how you respond to failure, and whether you can identify and address your shortcomings proactively.

If you think about this question ahead of time, you won’t find yourself swallowing hard and struggling to find an answer during your interview. The best approach is to know how to “spin” your answer so you can demonstrate how you’ve reflected upon and learned from past experiences.  

When you're preparing a response, reflect on your past work experiences and make a list of situations that didn't turn out the way you would have liked. Think about the actions you took (or didn’t take), and how they resulted in a less-than-ideal outcome. Identify similar scenarios you encountered again after those initial disappointments, but where you performed differently. What did you learn from the negative result, and what did you do to strengthen your ability to handle similar situations in the future?
