ave some homework to do after school today. B. I wish I had less homework to do this afternoon! C. My English teacher gave me a million and one pages to read tonight! D. I think kids today have too much homework.
C. My English teacher gave me a million and one pages to read tonight!
Explanation:
Hyperbole is a deliberate exaggeration used to make a point, to emphasize or to add humor on something and that employs words or phrases that are obviously false and thus, should not be taken literally. Sentence C uses this figure of speech when using the phrase “a million and one pages” to emphasize how much work the speaker was given.
