Question

Which is an example of hyperbole?

  1. My feet are very sore.
  2. I have more homework than you.
  3. I have a ton of homework.
  4. This sweet tea tastes fantastic.

hintHint:

Hyperbole is a literary technique where an author or speaker intentionally uses exaggeration and overstatement for emphasis and effect.

The correct answer is: I have a ton of homework.


    Options a, b and d do not use exaggeration, so they are eliminated. In option c, it is not literally possible to have a "ton" of homework, as homework cannot be measured in mass- therefore it is exaggeration. Thus option c is the correct answer.
