Which lines from homers " the odyssey "best shows an example of hyperbole ?

English
1 answer:
charle [14.2K]3 years ago
3 0
The correct answer is answer choice C, "I am Odysseus, son of Laertes, known to the world for every kind of craft - my fame has reached the skies". A hyperbole is, simply put, an exaggeration. Odysseus' fame has not literally reached the skies; he is simply exaggerating his fame to get his point across. For instance, when someone wants to go somewhere, and wants to convince a friend to come with them, they might say 'everyone's going', or something along those lines. However, everyone in the world is not literally going; that someone is simply exaggerating to make a point.

In which sentence is the underlined verb used correctly in the subjunctive mood?
icang [17]

The sentence in which the underlined verb is used correctly in the subjunctive mood is the one that reads "if I were you, I would try out for the lead in the school play".

In the English language, the subjunctive mood is used to talk about conditional or imaginary situations. In this case, it has been used to explore a condition which is contrary to fact, that is, the person speaking is not the addressee. That is why the sentence reads "if i were you".  It is a piece of advise.
