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!

John Proctor's dilemma began when
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Summary Act II

Summary

John Proctor sits down to dinner with his wife, Elizabeth. Mary Warren, their servant, has gone to the witch trials, defying Elizabeth’s order that she remain in the house. Fourteen people are now in jail. If these accused witches do not confess, they will be hanged. Whoever Abigail and her troop name as they go into hysterics is arrested for bewitching the girls.

Proctor can barely believe the craze, and he tells Elizabeth that Abigail had sworn her dancing had nothing to do with witchcraft. Elizabeth wants him to testify that the accusations are a sham. He says that he cannot prove his allegation because Abigail told him this information while they were alone in a room. Elizabeth loses all faith in her husband upon hearing that he and Abigail were alone together. Proctor demands that she stop judging him. He says that he feels as though his home is a courtroom, but Elizabeth responds that the real court is in his own heart.
