Hyperbole is the use of over-exaggeration to create emphasis or humor. I'm not exactly sure what to do for the last 2 things. Sorry
I believe the answer would be
B. diverse people contribute to the country's identity
The paragraph that provides the best variety in sentence patterns is B. my cousin the one who lives in Japan just sent me a text message she is excited about traveling and mentioned she would like to see various places including New York and the Grand Canyon.
In this paragraph, the use of compound and complex sentences make it more varied than the other options. In the first sentence, the word <em>who</em> introduces a dependent clause within the main clause that is <em>my cousin sent me a text message.</em> The second sentence is a compound sentence since it contains two Verbal phrases, <em>mentioned and would like to see</em>, joined by the connector <em>and. </em>
I would say b.) My mom recommends that he get a cart before going in.
This entire sentence is in present tense and is the only one that makes sense. Hope this helps. :)
We frequently read story books.
