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.

Why does the author introduce the article with a reference to "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde"?
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

The correct answer is C.

The author seeks to to make a comparison between Jekyll's transformation and real life.

Explanation:

In the case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Dr Henry Jekyll changes himself into an Edward Hyde an evil doer: the fall out of Dr Jekylls experiment.  

At the end of the strange story, Dr Jekyll before his death wills his estate to his evil persona Edward Hyde.  

So the article refers to this story with the intention to consider the extent to which the legal frameworks will permit the sort of transfer that happened between Jekyll and Hyde, were it to happen in real life.

Cheers!
