The correct answer is D. Whenever I went to the library, I would see him buried under a mountain of paperwork.

Explanation:

The hyperbole is a figure of speech in which one feature, situation or idea is exaggerated to emphasize it or convey complex meanings. This occurs in poems and literary texts but also everyday language, indeed hyperbole is one of the most used figures of speech. This is illustrated in "Whenever I went to the library, I would see him buried under a mountain of paperwork" because the speaker uses exaggeration through the words "mountain of paperwork" to emphasize the amount of paperwork, despite there is not a literal mountain.

What was Henry David Thoreau’s primary purpose in writing “Civil Disobedience”?
alexandr402 [8]

The correct answer is C.

Thoreau wrote "Civil Disobedience" to express his discontent about the government control over its citizens.

In the essay, Throreau argues that people should be allowed to act according to their believes, rather than be obliged to follow laws dictated by the mayority. This is because he believes that, even though the majority is the strongest group, it does not mean that they always have the right point of view.
