Question

which of the following lines from the poem would you explain to help your sister understand hyperbole?
select one of four
\and the horse was never saddled that the geebungs couldnt ride;\
\they were long and wiry natives from the rugged mountain side,\
\and they played on mountain ponies that were muscular and strong,\
\but their style of playing polo was irregular and rash —\

Explanation:

Hyperbole is intentional exaggeration for effect. This line exaggerates the Geebungs' riding ability by claiming they can ride any horse that has ever been saddled, an impossible, overstated claim that fits the definition of hyperbole. The other lines are literal descriptions without exaggeration.

Answer:

"And the horse was never saddled that the Geebungs couldn't ride;"
