literary devices
authors techniques: the literary devices an author uses to convey the overall meaning of a text
literary devices:
metaphor - a comparison (analogy) of two unlike things without using the words like or as
symbolism - an object or element that represents something else, providing a deeper meaning
mood - a missing element within a text
imagery - descriptive language that appeals to the senses (taste, touch, sound, sight, smell)
hyperbole - an extreme exaggeration
alliteration - the repeated consonant sound at the beginning of a series of words
which of the following is an example of hyperbole?
love is like a compass
our car cost an arm and a leg
daria didnt dare to answer the door

Explanation:

A hyperbole is an extreme exaggeration. "Our car cost an arm and a leg" is an exaggerated statement about the car's cost. "Love is like a compass" is a simile. "Daria didn't dare to answer the door" is a simple statement without exaggeration.

Answer:

Our car cost an arm and a leg
