Answer 2

Hyperbole

Step-by-step explanation:

A statement made in an exaggerated form but one that cannot be taken seriously or literarily considered as being impossible to happen.

For example:

Its rainy cats and dogs;

He ran as fast as the wind;

I am so hungry that I could eat a horse;

These statements above, are an exaggeration of what is really happening because for example, no matter how hungry one might be one cannot eat up a whole horse.
