Which of these sentences from “The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County” by Mark Twain is an example of hyperbole?

“You never see a frog so modest and straightfor'ard as he was.”

“He was planted as solid as a church.”

“Smiley he stood scratching his head and looking down at Dan’l a long time.”

“Well, thish-yer Smiley had a yaller one-eyed cow that didn’t have no tail.”
