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.

Momaday discusses the “irony” of the term “New World” (pars. 3–4). What are his reasons for this characterization?
GREYUIT [131]

Answer: N. Scott Momaday - who is a native American himself - finds ironic that white people claimed that they were arriving into the "new world" when in reality there were ancient civilizations already living on those lands, and this claim is one that they have continued to sustain up to this day.

When Europeans arrived in 1492, there were very large Indian populations scattered all across America with a rich history and culture, an element that vastly defers the logic of the discovery of a "new world".
