Question
what does the hyperbole in this text suggest? pinocchios tears had dried and only hard, dry sobs shook his wooden frame. but these sobs could be heard by the faraway hills... —carlo collodi, pinocchio pinocchio was crying quietly. pinocchios sobs could be heard from several miles away. pinocchios sobs were very loud.
Hyperbole is an extreme exaggeration used for emphasis. The text claims Pinocchio's sobs could reach faraway hills, which is not literally true; it exaggerates to show the volume of his sobs. The option stating he cried quietly contradicts this, and the "several miles away" option takes the hyperbole too literally instead of interpreting the exaggeration's intent.
