Question

Read this sentence from the selection when I need a new jacket and my mother asked what kind I wanted I describe something like bikers wear black leather and silver studs with enough belts to hold down a small town what is an effect of the hyperbole in this sentence

Answer 1

Hello!

A hyperbole is an exaggerated statement used to prove a point. In this sentence, the hyperbole is "enough belts to hold down a small town." This is exaggerated because the speaker is explaining how he/she wants a jacket with many belts, but the belts could not actually hold down a small town.

I hope this helps you! Have a lovely day!
