I think it would be to heighten the effect. I think it is this because it would help you add more of an effect on certain things snd help you explain certain objects or people. It will also make you belive how heavy something is etc.

Hello!

The correct answer is "to heighten effect."

Hyperbole refers to the use of an exaggeration. When a writer uses hyperbole, it means that he is exaggerating a point in order to heighten its effect.

I hope this helps you! Have a great day!
