Question
Give one word substitutes for the following from the
choices given below them. Language that describes something with obvious and intentional exaggeration.Solution
Simile (Incorrect Option): A simile is a figure of speech that compares two different things using the words "like" or "as." It involves making a comparison but does not necessarily include exaggeration. Metaphor (Incorrect Option): A metaphor is a figure of speech that involves making a direct comparison between two unrelated things. While metaphors can be vivid and imaginative, they do not necessarily involve exaggeration in the same way hyperbole does. Personification (Incorrect Option): Personification is a figure of speech in which human qualities are attributed to non-human entities or objects. It involves giving human characteristics to something non-human but does not inherently involve exaggeration. Hyperbole (Correct Answer): Hyperbole is a figure of speech that involves deliberate and extreme exaggeration for emphasis or effect. It is used to create a strong impression or to make a point, often by overstating or magnifying certain qualities or features.
