The effect of this hyperbole is B) it shows the powerful nature of Orpheus' music.

Hyperbole is a figure of speech that is used in many literary pieces. It consists in an exaggeration that is not meant to be taken literally. Moreover, it is used to create emphasis, or to produce what is known as a "larger-than-life effect". In this excerpt from <em>Orpheus and Eurydice</em>, <u>the writer's aim is to exaggerate the effect that the music that Orpheus plays has on nature and to indicate that his music is very beautiful and powerfu</u>l. Therefore, hyperbole has been used to show extravagance and to create a strong impression.

Using an active voice for the majority of your sentences makes your meaning clear for readers, and keeps the sentences from becoming too complicated or wordy. Passive voice makes sentences wordier and can cloud the meaning of your sentence.

In these examples the use of passive voice can be replaced by active voice by removing extra words like 'been' and re-arranging the sentence structure.

Here are the rewritten sentences:

<em>The thieves have been arrested by the police.</em>

Remove 'been' and 'by' then switch 'police' with 'thieves'.

The police have arrested the thieves.

<em>The marvelous performance delivered by the children enthralled us.</em>

Remove 'delivered by the children'

The marvelous performance enthralled us.

<em>He has been invited to their party.</em>

Remove 'he has' replace with 'they have'

They have invited him to their party.

<em>We have shipped your order.</em>

Simplify the sentence to only have a verb and a subject.

The order has shipped.

<em>The girl recited the poem beautifully.</em>

Replace 'The girl' with 'she'

She recited the poem beautifully.

How do you turn proper nouns into proper adjective
Alik [6]
Proper nouns are nouns that name specific people, places, things, or ideas. Think of proper as meaning specific.

America, English, Paris
Notice that proper nouns always begin with a capital letter.

Proper adjectives are adjectives that are formed from proper nouns. Most of them identify people, places, languages, or groups.

American cars, English grammar, Parisian scarf
Notice that these adjectives are still performing the job of an adjective: They are all describing nouns. Also, notice that they all begin with a capital letter.
