You forgot to provide the excerpt but I managed to find it anyways, so here you have <u>the set of lines that most clearly present the use of hyperbole in the poem</u>:

"Vaster than empires and more slow;  

An hundred years should go to praise  

Thine eyes, and on thy forehead gaze;  

Two hundred to adore each breast,  

But thirty thousand to the rest;  

An age at least to every part"


In Andrew Marvel's "To His Coy Mistress", hyperbole is used to emphasize the magnitude of the love he feels for his mistress is. The writer streches dimensions to impossible lengths in order to convey intensity through exaggeration.


Hope this helps!

Self confidence introduction​
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

In 1890, the philosopher William James in his Principles of Psychology wrote, “Believe what is in the line of your needs, for only by such belief is the need fulled ... Have faith that you can successfully make it, and your feet are nerved to its accomplishment,” expressing how self-confidence could be a virtue. The concept of self-confidence is commonly used as self-assurance in one's personal judgment, ability, power, etc. One's self confidence increases from experiences of having mastered particular activities.It is a positive belief that in the future one can generally accomplish what one wishes to do. Self-confidence is not the same as self-esteem, which is an evaluation of one's own worth, whereas self-confidence is more specifically trust in one's ability to achieve some goal, which one meta-analysis suggested is similar to generalization of self-efficacy. Self-confidence typically refers to general self-confidence. This is different from self-efficacy, which psychologist Albert Bandura has defined as a “belief in one’s ability to succeed in specific situations or accomplish a task”and therefore is the term that more accurately refers to specific self-confidence. Psychologists have long noted that a person can possess self-confidence that he or she can complete a specific task even though they may lack general self-confidence, or conversely be self-confident though they lack the self-efficacy to achieve a particular task (e.g. write a novel).
