Read "Morning Garden." Bright red tomatoes dangle from looping vines, Squash blossoms burst forth on fuzzy green spines. English peas dance across a fence of wooden stakes, Within my tiny garden, all that really matters awakes. Which line contains an example of hyperbole?
Answer
A
"Bright red tomatoes dangle from looping vines,"
B
"Squash blossoms burst forth on fuzzy green spines."
C
"English peas dance across a fence of wooden stakes,"
D
"Within my tiny garden, all that really matters awakes."
Explanation
Hyperbole is an intentional exaggeration. The claim that “all that really matters” awakens within the tiny garden overstates the garden’s importance, so line D contains hyperbole. The peas “dance” in line C, but that is personification rather than hyperbole.
