Question

question 4 of 10
which option is the best example of hyperbole?

a. stalins call for all soviets to help in the war effort
b. stalins reference to hitler throwing soldiers onto the battlefield
c. stalins reference to the red army air force as falcons
d. stalins call to destroy manufactured goods to prevent enemy use

Explanation:

A hyperbole is an exaggeration for effect. Option C compares the Red Army air force to falcons, which is a metaphor (a figure of speech, but not an exaggeration). Option A is a call to action, not an exaggeration. Option D is a strategic call, not an exaggeration. Option B: Referring to Hitler "throwing soldiers onto the battlefield" is an exaggeration to emphasize the perceived recklessness or large - scale nature of Hitler's deployment of soldiers, fitting the definition of hyperbole.

Answer:

B. Stalin's reference to Hitler throwing soldiers onto the battlefield
