Question

Which of the following statements best illustrate hyperbole?

A. the slippery snake slithered and hissed in the smooth sand

B. we came to look at animals, but we're the ones being watched

C. wow, the way these tigers lie there sleeping is so exciting

D. without a doubt, this is the best zoo in the entire universe

Answer 1

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Hyperboles are exaggerated statements used to express extreme emotion or better explain how good/bad/other something is. They shouldn't be taken literally. The best zoo in the universe isn't actually that - the point is that it is the best zoo he/she/they have visited.
