Question

which figure of speech is used in this text? after tripping on the red carpet, the actress thought she would die of embarrassment. hyperbole euphemism

Explanation:

To determine the figure of speech, we analyze the options:

• Hyperbole is an exaggeration not meant to be taken literally. The actress saying she "would die of embarrassment" is an exaggeration (she won't actually die from embarrassment), which fits hyperbole.
• Euphemism is a mild or indirect word/phrase used instead of a harsh one, which doesn't apply here as there's no such substitution.

Answer:

hyperbole
