Question

which sentence is an example of hyperbole? a. the cast on byrons leg was a plaster shackle. b. ill go insane if i dont get invited to the party. c. her eyes were as blue as the summer sky. d. the wind pushed the leaves through the yard.

Explanation:

To determine the hyperbole, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Compares the cast to a shackle (metaphor, not hyperbole).
• Option B: Claims "I'll go insane" which is an exaggerated statement (hyperbole, as it's not literally true but emphasizes the feeling).
• Option C: Uses "as blue as" (simile, not hyperbole).
• Option D: Describes the wind's action (personification, not hyperbole).

Answer:

B. I'll go insane if I don't get invited to the party.
