Answer:

The answer is hyperbole.

Explanation:

It's a familiar question.

Also, Hyperbole is an exaggeration. The most blatant display of exaggeration here is the author's description of her laughter.

The following lines show this:

"...and it nearly killed her laughing"

"...she laughed herself lame--she did, indeed;"

She couldn't have possibly laughed herself lame of course but the hyperbole is used in showing how hard she must have laughed at what he was telling her.

Highlight the preposition in the sentence below.<br> Joey Tribbiani is rooting for the other team.
Sav [38]

The preposition in the sentence - Joey Tribbiani is rooting for the other team is-" for"

A preposition is a word or phrase that appears before a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase to indicate direction, time, place, location, spatial relationships, or to introduce an object. Prepositions include words like "in," "at," "on," "of," and "to." English prepositions are highly idiomatic. Although there are some usage rules, many prepositions are dictated by fixed expressions. In these cases, memorize the phrase rather than the individual preposition.

Prepositions are typically found at the end of a sentence, but before a noun or pronoun. Prepositions do not have a specific form. The majority of prepositions are one-word phrases, but complex-prepositions are two- or three-word phrases.
