Answer 2

The sentence that best rewrites the line so that it includes hyperbole is C, Jackson lived for an eternity in a two-room, ramshackle house.

Hyperbole is a literary device that involves an exaggeration of ideas in order to put emphasis on something. In this case, "eternity" and "two-room" are the words that contribute to the hyperbole.
