A hyperbole is either a word or a sentence in a text that shows an overstatement (an exaggeration), it does not have to be literal; it is just a way to express your ideas in order to generate a contrast or to get the reader's attention.
In the excerpt the hyperboles (exaggerations) are:
- <u><em>Your name--think of it! Man,</em></u><u><em> they'll flock in droves</em></u><u><em>, these rich Londoners; they'll fight for that stock! </em></u>
When the writer says <em>"they'll flock in droves", </em>he refers to a very big amount of people together.
- <em><u>In less than twenty-four hours London was </u></em><em><u>abuzz</u></em><em><u>!</u></em>
When the writer uses the word <em>"abuzz", </em>it does not mean the city was on fire; it means the city was lively busy.
C. Live life full until daylight falls, as it completes the rhyme scheme. (know, ago) and (walls, falls)

Machine” which are complex sentences are:
<span>2. </span>For
example, Bletchley Park was crucial in the Battle of the Atlantic, which lasted
six years.
5. This
was provided in a codebook, which was a monthly list of daily keys distributed
to various networks in the German military.
6. Since
the Enigma machine could encrypt text into over 150 trillion possible
combinations, Germans were convinced the codes were not decipherable.
