Answer:
C. The sickness of the workers
Explanation:
Because it is stated in the article that the process of building the Great East River Bridge was delayed for years because of bad deals and workers ' illness. That is to say, staff caught illness trying to build the bridge and that puts them at risk.
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.

Francisco is ready to recite his memorized portion of the Declaration of Independence and Border Patrol show up to take him away. Seriously—they just show up at his classroom and that's it, <span>Francisco knows what's going to happen (he's heading back to Mexico), and he's not fighting it. Francisco is about to read one of the most important documents in American history (one that talks about freedom, rights, liberties etc.), and he is just taken away without a say in it; this contrasts the 'rights' that illegal immigrants compared to U.S. citizens, because they aren't always treated humanely.</span>
