Answer: Hyperbole is extreme exaggeration to stress a point.

Explanation:

Hyperbole meaning "excess," is a figure of speech that uses extreme exaggeration to make a point or show emphasis.

You can find examples of hyperbole in literature and everyday speech.

Hyperboles are not similies or methaphors, but they're extravagang and even ridiculous overstatements, not meant to be taken literally.

<em> Here are some examples: </em>

In these sentences you'll see the the general thought isn't realistic, but it helps to stress the point.

- I've told you to clean your room a million times!

- I am so hungry I could eat a horse.

- I have a million things to do today.

- He's as skinny as a toothpick.

- His new car cost a bazillion dollars.

stellarik [79]

Answer: Be committed, do not be afraid to ask questions, track your grade, stand up for yourself, do not let your peers change you.

Explanation: The assignments are going to get hard, so you must stay committed and put in the effort. If you fall behind, it will be very difficult to get back up. Do not make a habit out of procrastination. If you don't understand something, do not be afraid to ask questions, if a good GPA is what your aim is, then it's important to get an understanding. Stay current with your grades, it's important to know your standings, so that you know what you mastered, and what still needs more practice. Always stand up for yourself, do not allow yourself to get picked on. If people see you to be weak, and an easy prey, they will challenge and clown you in order to boost their clout. And most importantly, do not allow your peers to change you. stay away from drugs, they're addictive, and they ruin your body. If your goal is to get good grades, then make sure your managing your time wisely. Your friends might want to talk during class, but it's important that you listen, they will want to hangout, but make sure you've mastered or have at least a decent understanding of all your class lessons before proceeding into leisure. Now remember, this is only if your goal is to be a good student. I on the other hand don't follow any of these rules except the "don't do drugs". I'm legit answering your question for brainly points so I can continue cheating my summer school homework lol. I'm not the best example, but I'm a Sophomore soon to be Junior in August who has a good concept and understanding of how High School works..
