The correct answer is TRUE. Both commas and parentheses are used to set off parenthetic expressions, but each has their own set of rules to follow when setting off some words in the sentence. Like for example, one way to use parentheses is to set off a phrase that is not part of the subject. On the other hand, we use commas to set off a phrase that serves as an additional information to the sentence.
Answer:
I think its B
Explanation:
since a professor has already written books on the production of food he should be well prepared for writing an article. People who already write have a better ability to grab a reader's attention.
the tv reporter has only visited a single fast food museum, so he wouldn't have much to write on.
the former worker is already mad at being fired (he would write negatively about the place) and only has knowledge about meat. (in my opinion)
the senator could be a good option but his field is law not writing.

Answer:
It is a hyperbole that means that the author's eyes were wide with fear.
Explanation:
A hyperbole is an exaggeration to prove a point. For example: "I had a thousand pages of homework." You can't possibly have that much homework; it is exaggerated to show how much homework you have.
A simile is a comparison to another thing using the words "like" or "as." For example: "My pile of homework was as thick as a box."
An oxymoron is using two words together that contradict. For example: "My homework was finished at school." Normally people do homework at home, so it is contradictory(opposite) to do it at school. Another example is "the boiling hot ice." Usually ice is freezing cold, so it is contradictory for it to be hot.
Now that you know these figures of speech, we can answer the question. It's not a simile because it isn't comparing anything with the words "like" or "as." It's not an oxymoron because there is no contradictory statement. So, it is a hyperbole. It is exaggerating how far the person's eyes were sticking out.
