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.
Answer:
B) Sheree's grandmother—a country woman through and through—knew how to bake a serious pie.
Explanation:
A dash (-) is often used to clearly define an independent clause. The dash is used to separate two words that have been connected together, as in peach and blue. Where there should be no pause between the sentences.
This is a compound sentence because it is two independent cluases joined by a conjunction (after). A complex sentence would be one independent clause and one dependent clause joined with a conjunction and a simple sentence is just a sentence with one independent clause.
