All of the following sentences from "Wanted: a town without a crazy" use exaggeration to create a comic effect except a. "Around my waist i bound a thick belt and hung a frying pan to one end on a cord. The frying pan was to be my guitar. I hung things all around my belt: a ladle, wooden spoons, a potty, an electric clock, a women's umbrella, a cast-iron stove-lid." b. As soon as i landed, eight or ten kids followed me. Their numbers grew to fifty, one hundred. You know kids! Everyone hear about me from them; that's how my fame spread through the town from the first day."

c. "it kills me to think that while these poor people were suffering all those years from the lack of loony, i was putting numbers on documents, kowtowing when i entered the director's office, and wasting all that time for a mere thousand lira a month."

What is the point of this question? Like what do you have to do?

OpenStudy (omgthatgirl):

d. "Now when i enter the mayor's office, i don't say selam or hello and don't even bother to knock. I walk right in, lean against the mayor's arm then settle myself into an easy chair. After thrusting an expensive cigarette into my hand, he lights it with his own lighter and orders me a coffee."
