Hyperbole, like other figures of speech, is used to convey ideas, emotions, and imagery more effectively than plain language allows. An author might remark, for example, that Mary lives in a spacious house.

Mary lives in a large house, but that is all the reader knows about her. There is no other background provided to describe the size of the house. Size, for example, is often related to the reader's experiences and may not accurately reflect what the author intended.

Answer:

The hyperbole is perhaps one of the most widely recognized forms of figurative language and one that permeates everyday life through the advertising and entertainment industries. Hyperbole is the use of exaggeration for extra effect. The author can use hyperbole to add extra drama or comedy to a situation or even for propaganda.
