C. "My knees are killing me," he complained after the run.

A hyperbole is an over exaggeration. The correct answer is "My knees are killing me" because the runners knees aren't actually killing him. They are just painful. The other examples are not hyperbole because nothing is being exaggerated. The friend is being generous. Depending on perspective losing by 50 points may not be so bad. Also, it could be chilly out.

Bad White [126]

Answer:

The sentence that is consistently iambic is:

D. Jamal requests a pen.

Explanation:

<u>We can define iamb or iambic foot as a sequence consisting of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one. Therefore, if we highlight the stressed syllable in each line, we will be able to verify which one is iambic:</u>

A.Betty told me secrets.

B.Give me your sympathy.

C.Understand pirouettes.

<u>D.Ja</u><u>mal</u><u> re</u><u>quests</u><u> a </u><u>pen</u><u>.</u>

<u>The only sentence that presents iambs is the last one. It contains three sequences of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one, which makes it an iambic trimeter. Therefore, letter D is the right answer.</u>
