Question

Choose the expression that uses the same literary device as used in the line “he was so tough that you could hammer nails into him without his noticing it.”

विकल्प

• My mom made enough food to feed an army last night.

• My alarm clock yells at me to get out of bed every morning.

• The car complained as the key was roughly turned in its ignition.

• Lightning danced across the sky like a fairy beating against the clouds.

Answer 1

My mom made enough food to feed an army last night.

Explanation:

The line uses hyperbole, which is deliberate exaggeration for emphasis. “Hammer nails into him” is an exaggerated way of showing that the professor was extremely tough. Similarly, “enough food to feed an army” is an exaggeration.
