Question

Read the sentence.

"I've asked you a million times to please close the back door, said Jade's mother.
Which figure of speech is used in this sentence?
hyperbole
metaphor
personification
simile

Answer 1

A. Hyperbole

Explanation:

"I've asked you a million times to please close the back door," said Jade's mother.

A million times is the exaggerated phrase in the sentence. Jade's mother did not really ask her that a million times, but it is used in this sentence as a way to show the reader that she said it a lot.
