Question

Which sentence contains an example of hyperbole?

Inaugural Address
by John F. Kennedy, January 20, 1961 (excerpt)
Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans-
born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage—and unwilling to witness or
permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at
home and around the world.
Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any
friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.
This much we pledge-and more.
To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends. United there is little we cannot
do in a host of cooperative ventures. Divided there is little we can do-for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split
asunder

Answer 1

hard and bitter peace.

Answer 2

"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty."

Step-by-step explanation:

A hyperbole is a literary device that exaggerates a sentence to get the narrators point across. The hyperbole in this excerpt is "we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to..." the narrator exaggerated the point, therefore the first option is the correct answer!
