35) The answer is A) Lived a man as big as a barge.
A describes the size of the man, but not how he eats or drinks. The other three have keywords that have to do with food or eating/drinking, so they must be describing how much the man can eat or drink.
36) The answer is A) hyperbole.
A hyperbole is an exaggeration of something. The man was definitely not as big as a barge, nor could he eat or drink that much. This means that the author was using an exaggeration to emphasize how much the man does eat and drink.
