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.
