Answer:

d. Main idea

Explanation:

The main idea of a paragraph refers to the point or idea that the author intends to convey. Thus, it communicates the aim, purpose and topic of the text. Therefore, the rest of the sentences in the paragraph act as the supporting details, since they develop, explain and exemplify the main idea, which is usually stated in the topic sentence.

Which three parts of this excerpt from Mark Twain's "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note" contain hyperbole?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

There are three hyperboles in this excerpt from "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note":

  • "They'll flock in droves". Here the word flock used as a verb means to gather together as a flock (word used to refer to a group of animals, specially birds). Therefore, the phrase is an hyperbole because it contrasts the idea of "a group of animals in a rush" to refer to "these rich Londoners" so as to cause a sense of exaggeration.
  • "I'm a made man forever". The use of the word "forever" here is used to add emphasis to the fact that the character will be a made man as long as he lives: everyone knows nothing lasts forever.
  • "In less than twenty-four hours London was abuzz!". Here the phrase "less than twenty-four hours" is employed to highlight how fast it took the rich Londoners to hear about the mine selling.
