Hyperbole, is a figure of speech that uses extreme exaggeration to make a point or show emphasis. It is the opposite of understatement.

Example: 1. She’s as thin as a toothpick.

               2. If I can’t get a smartphone, I will die.

An allusion is an expression designed to call something to mind without mentioning it explicitly; an indirect or passing reference.

Example: 1. “I was surprised his nose was not growing like Pinocchio’s.” This refers to the story of Pinocchio, where his nose grew whenever he told a lie. It is from The Adventures of Pinocchio, written by Carlo Collodi.

              2. “He was a Good Samaritan yesterday when he helped the lady start her car.” This refers to the story of the Good Samaritan who was the only one to stop and help a man in need.

A hyperbole is the <em>use of extreme exaggeration</em> to try and get a point across.

  • I literally couldn't get out of bed today.
  • You've said that a million times now
  • This class is so boring I might die

An allusion is using a <em>reference outside the given text</em>; referring to something that is generally known in popular culture.

  • He's such a bad liar, you'd think he was Pinocchio.
  • My sister is starting to act like Peter Pan; she never wants to grow up
  • His beard is so scruffy and long he looks like Blackbeard.

I hope this helps you! Brainliest is always appreciated!
