Question 2 • FL-1001040-M/J Language Arts 2 B

Which excerpt has the greatest hyperbole?

Answer

A

The pear tree stood tall in the garden, waving her shady branches.

B

Leaves fell like confetti when the children scrambled up the tree.

C

The doctor’s office was empty as a tomb for months and months.

D

The children climbed higher than the sun’s rays that afternoon.

Explanation

Hyperbole is an extreme exaggeration, not meant to be taken literally. The children could not climb higher than the sun’s rays, so choice D uses the greatest exaggeration. Choice C is also an exaggeration, but an empty office compared to a tomb is less extreme.
