Well a connotation suggests emotion to a word.

so the word short could be used in different ways, some more insulting.

short could be referring to size
or if someone said "im $2 short"
that refers to having less of something you need.

so i hope maybe this ramble helps cx

Which lines from homers " the odyssey "best shows an example of hyperbole ?

charle [14.2K]

The correct answer is answer choice C, "I am Odysseus, son of Laertes, known to the world for every kind of craft - my fame has reached the skies". A hyperbole is, simply put, an exaggeration. Odysseus' fame has not literally reached the skies; he is simply exaggerating his fame to get his point across. For instance, when someone wants to go somewhere, and wants to convince a friend to come with them, they might say 'everyone's going', or something along those lines. However, everyone in the world is not literally going; that someone is simply exaggerating to make a point.
